Why did I watch this? Oh, Daisy Ridley!
Joey is a cleaner, but the movie takes twenty minutes to get to it. First she has to be very late for her job, and deal with her brother, who has autism. [I will not addess the autism representation in this movie, I will leave that for others.] But eventually she gets to window cleaning on the outside of a high rise building... and then the movie finally starts when activists take rich people hostage, and threaten to expose their secrets. Can Joey survive a) being outside, b) the activists, c) her brother's autism, and d) the police who are policing all over the place.
Die Hard anyone? But what if... John McClane was a woman?? She doesn't make fists with her feet, but she does have several problems. Like a script that takes a long time to actually get going, and then spends a huge amount of time not actually having the hero do anything until the final act of the movie.
Barely over 90 minutes, this is a cut rate version of an action movie, and did this get a commercial release? Didn't deserve it.
