Thoughts
So much better than that Full Throttle sequel! I really loved this. Trust in Elizabeth Banks for a girl power movie that isn’t too in-your-face, it’s just people being awesome. It’s a movie in which Patrick Stewart is the bad guy but was still brilliant!
The story stacked up, the way the rookie handled herself was great, and I love Kristen Stewart’s character and haircut! The closing credits, too, were fab, surprise after surprise. I just really enjoyed the whole ride.
