What's the problem with elevating a young girl to super-warrior ability, agility and strength? It's unbelievable and implausible.
We're asked to believe too much. It's not a "predator movie", it's more "Hunger Games".
Okay, the girl can throw an axe. But we are expected to believe she goes from that to basically wonder woman. Able to out-smart and take down a predator on her own.
All she needs to do is a few flips and spins, some acrobatics, wrestle the predator a few times, defy death and injury over and over again, and watch her complex plan for a trap come together perfectly. We then see her stroll out uninjured, the predators blood on her clothes and face. Riiiiiiight.
The formula-agenda cringe is tedious. Unfortunate to see this again. "Girls can kill predators too" is the main point of this movie. Nothing ruins a good movie more than busting stereotypes and "representing" or whatever studio motivations are behind these projects.
