Too bad someone didn't want to spend more time on the script of this film. The whole idea is similar to The Expendables, where an ad-hoc team of dangerous females is sent to save the president's daughter from a female warlord... by a CIA female agent. Oh yeah, it is that kind of movie where everything is from a recipe and they changed salt with sugar and called it new.
Anyway, there was a lot of potential in the movie. Instead of going in hot, they had to charm their way in and by that I don't mean the usual woman ways from movies, because the warlord was a woman, too. So just from this little detail the plot was a little bit more interesting than the usual action flick. Also the actresses, even if they are far from acting prodigies, are kind of known and capable. Zoe Bell was Xena's stunt double, and then there are Vivica Fox, Brigitte Nielsen and Kristanna Loken for crying out loud. I was amazed that Mona was Cynthia Rothrock. I didn't recognize her and she has only one fighting scene when she kicks Vivica's behind.
Alas, all the potential was in vain. The script was ridiculous, the direction criminal and the extras I don't think they were even actors. I am pretty sure they shot the same guy to death at least two times. The budget must have been insignificant, but that is really no excuse.
I admit, I know little about the movie industry, but I cannot understand how the things that cost the most are the one that are done best, while the things that only require some interest, some personal effort, do not. Was it really more difficult to write some good lines, sketch a few good scenes, than to prepare and execute shooting scenes, explosions, flying and landing planes, etc?
