CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
donaldricco This could have been so much better! Have a man play Frank at the beginning, and Michelle Rodriguez is the perfect casting for later. But at the beginning, it just looks like her with a beard on. Fail. Sigourney Weaver perfectly cast as evil doctor. But way too many lines, most of them poorly written. Fail. The rest of it all? Meh. It's a clever idea, and a nice, cruel reveal at the end, but overall with the points I've made above, this movie is a fail.
bettycjung 9/27/17. How feasible is this? Then again, this is more like a psychological thriller in which Weaver is a demented surgeon who changes the gender of the man who killed her brother. For some reason Weaver likes doing this type of movie every so often, like Copycat. But she was much better in that movie. In this one it was all flat affect. Rodriguez did a decent job playing the woman who can't accept the change, and regardless of the change she was still a killer through and through. If you like these actresses, then go tor it.
wpkolkho I was trolling for something entertaining and free on Amazon Prime and thought I'd give this movie a chance. It is terrible to the point of not being watchable. I turned it off for good after about 45 minutes, so I must admit, I have not watched it all the way through. The start however was plodding, pedantic, pretentious, and boring. There is nothing convincing about this movie. It is without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever seen.Be assured, you *can* find something better to do with your time!
Reno Rangan Actually, it was a much better film than what I've heard of it. What could you expect from a B movie? This was a much better film for its small budget with a decent cast. The storyline seems okay, but Michelle Rodriguez is the one who made it possible. Yeah, it was like created for her to play the main role and she excelled. The filmmaking was quite compromised when the initial part of her character was played by herself. Because of particularly her height, but decently convinces us with all the rest of the makeovers.The film was about an assassin, who after encountering some wrong men, discovers later that he'd went through gender reassignment surgery. Now raged with anger, he begins his hunt whoever behind it, especially finding the reason for. With a small romance and action sequences, the film comes to an end. Before giving it a try, you must understand that it is not the film you should expect to be a masterpiece. It tried its best to narrate a decent story, as well as you get your entertainment along. So it is not a must see, but still worth a watch.6/10
