Why watch this film?
A female version of the Marvel character The Punisher - which becomes even clearer with the Brazilian title. A woman has her family murdered by the mafia and, seeing that justice failed the victims, she sets out in search of revenge. The difference here is that the protagonist, played by Jennifer Garner ('Elektra'), is an ordinary woman who, after the tragedy, trains to become a lethal machine (which, by the way, brings similarities to another hero: Batman). Direction is by Pierre Morel (of 'Taken'), which guarantees good action sequences. Unfortunately, the feature film lacks a more elaborated script, going beyond the already cited inspirations.

Taken
Within the parameters of action thrillers, 'Taken' is as conventional as it is well-executed, whose flashes of originality reside in its premise: putting a veteran actor in a brutal impossible mission, two years before Sylvester Stallone and company did the same in 'Les Misérables'. Liam Neeson was familiar with this type of movie (he had previously starred in 'Batman Begins' and 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace'), but 'Taken' was a turning point in his career for such films, establishing himself as a convincing action star who is also responsible for one of the most iconic and intense monologues in the genre's history.

Freelance
A hilarious action comedy in which a desk-bound agent (John Cena) accepts a job as the bodyguard of a failed journalist (Alison Brie), who is about to embark on the interview of her life with a Latin American dictator (Juan Pablo Raba). However, when a coup d'état is declared, the trio must flee to the jungle, where they must learn to coexist and survive. Freelance won't change the course of action comedies, but it makes the most of Cena and Brie's considerable comedic chops.
