Pretty Lethal

Another streaming pile of garbage. Terrible acting and story. This is the sort of low budget garbage that was direct to video in the late 90's early 2000's. The ballerina group has the correct DEI checkmarks for diversity and it's basically just a bunch of tiny skinny females beating up the bad men. The fight choreography is awful with the dance fighting in particular is one of the stupidest things you will see in a movie. The leader of the criminal inn organization is a girl boss while
the men are all bumbling fools. Yes that is actually Uma Thurman slumming it for a paycheck. I'm now convinced putting characters with dishabilles in movies is as much DEI as anything else they do. I've seen a significant rise of deaf characters in particular in movies. In the first half they at least tried to make the small females a little more believable as they have them fight in groups of 2 or more against a single male and they use weapons like blades or clubs. The second half they just kind of give up on that however. It's still unbelievable though as the men
just flail about stupidly and wait to get hit or run straight at them and stand there while they get attacked. Rarely does a male character ever through a punch like they actually would in real life, they just push the female characters down or against a wall. It's so painfully stupid. The only positive is some decent FX and that's about it. The only reason I'm giving this 4 woke instead of 5 is because the director seemed to acknowledge the disparities in size and strength for men vs women and tried to make it more believable with the fight scenes but it still doesn't work and just comes off as a girl power movie at it's core.
