The action scenes felt very real, and even if the girl had fighting skills, most of the time it was just about surviving or running away and she got her ass handed to her more than once. Slightly more appropriate for the times than an post apocalyptic world or one caused by shortages of oil. The world is somewhat similar to the first Mad Max movie, only not a desert, but what is left after "the banks fell and the governments collapsed". She is not a perfect killing machine, instead she is always close to death and only luck and sometimes a mysterious boy are keeping her alive in several occasions. She is an addict for a drug that erases the memory, so she doesn't even remember the parents in the name of which she exacts revenge. India Eisley is incredibly cute, but she is playing this kid killer who wants to avenge her parents.
I am still amazed that it is a US/Mexico production. It felt the same way: international cast, a very young female killer and the dreary violence that is usually met in European films.

The first feeling I got when I started watching the movie is that it must be a Luc Besson film. Without seeing it, though, I can hardly compare it with the film, so my review is for the movie as a standalone. The story is based on a Japanese manga/anime that I intend to see momentarily.
