    • Trivia
      Stephen King praised the movie on Twitter as "Terrific action/suspense... how cool to see a tough older woman kick some serious a$$".
    • Goofs
      For an agent trained in field craft and with years or experience, Lou continually\y walks around, in the rain, with rifle(s) on her shoulder with the muzzle pointing up (without a muzzle-cover). This allows water to get into the barrel - severely degrading accuracy AND possible catastrophic damage to the weapon/shooter.

      Lou: World's not a playground. Teach your kid to look out for herself.

    Well-acted but absurd plot
    This movie could have been very good because the cast and acting are solid, with excellent cinematography. The story is so ridiculous, however, that no one could ever believe it and dramas don't work well with stupid scripts. Allison Janney, who plays a former CIA agent, is always worth watching and so are the other actors even though their dialogue is fairly limited. Jurney Smollett also does fine given the poor script she has to work with. It is impossible to describe how absurd the story is without including too many spoilers, so I suggest seeing this if you are an Allison Janney fan with about an hour and forty-five minutes with nothing else to do.
