Review

Mother gives a birth to the girl she needs to give away for adoptation to protect her since criminals want to kill that girl because of her mother past. Criminals find out later where this girl is when she is 12 year old and they kidnap her. Her mother needs to kill the criminals and teach her kid skills for survival to save her daughter.

Technically this was ok movie, story is ok as well but the movie was quite boring, too cliche and quite absurd in many ways. There were no depth in characters so all what happened to anyone were quite meaningless. Also stupidity in characters behaviours were just boring - the mother had many times possibility to kill the bad enemy but she never made sure he is dead so he just risked her daughter because of it. Also criminals were as stupid as well, they had a change to kill the mother, but they just didn’t, they just talk and talk and miss their possibilities so she could kill them.

It was somehow ok movie, but there was lots of stupidities so it cannot be recommened.
