I found this film quite enjoyable. You might like this if you like Alias (2001) or The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), although I found the latter a little better because Samantha Caine/Charly Baltimore is a more complex character.
Mild spoilers ahead. I liked the ruthlessness and efficiency of Jenna in disposing of her former colleagues and would-be-killers; since she is doing this with guns, this is not as unbelievable as Sidney Bristow beating up men twice as big as her. Also, Kristy Swanson looks great as always.
Unlike other films of this kind, the agonizing by the protagonist over her past evil deeds is refreshingly short. Also, I found the plot pretty believable (by Hollywood standards). In the beginning, I wondered a little about the quick side-switching of Jenna, but as the film proceeds, we see that this was not on-the-spot, but she actually has been thinking about and working for this for some time. The plot then proceeds pretty straightforwardly, and I have not noticed any unbelievable (and few other) twists.
Detailed spoilers of irrelevant stuff ahead: There are two scenes that could have used better editing (or better something): First, near McNamara's house, Jenna sends McNamara ahead for no obvious reason, then does some other things for no obvious reason, before following him (without any significant change in the situation). Second, near the end of the film, Jenna has a firefight with Dalton, runs out of clips, and gets a clip from some dead body; this goes on for much too long.
