Northern Finland is the home of Saoirse Ronan where her father, Eric Bana, has raised her to be a fierce warrior of a woman. She was trained with one mission in mind: Kill Marissa (Kate Blanchett). Why? Because Marissa, a CIA project chief, wants to close out a secret experiment with the deaths of both Banna and Ronan.
This tale starts in Finland and then runs nearly break neck through Morocco, Spain, and Germany. Blanchett's pursuit causes her to call in "off grid" personnel (Tom Hollander) in efforts to find and take out the problem no matter what.
To say this is an action film is an understatement. Our heroine, Ronan, improvises her way across Morocco and Spain with the help of a caravaning English couple and their two kids. She kills and maims just like her daddy as they both work their way to Germany from different directions for a rendezvous.
This work is beautifully filmed and the action is kept on tempo by The Chemical Brothers. If you are looking for an intricate, intriguing plot you are in the wrong theater. This is a strict popcorn munching delight.
