I will admit straight up that one of th reasons I was looking forward to this film was because it was supposed to contain hints to "Beverly Hills 90210" - I used to love that show! But also the story about an overclass girl turned bounty hunter sounded rather cool - apparently it's a tru story. I'd read a rather bad review of it, where the guy was complaining about the cutting, the shortness of the scenes, the story-telling etc, but I usually don't pay any attention to film reviews, because often I disagree.

Like I did this time.

I rarely watch an action film that can actually keep my attention, but this one was cool. I think because the action scenes were mixed with fragments of the story and lots of times they ended up providing little twist and turns to the story. So I guess it wasn't your typical action film, since there were no ten minute scenes of pure car chase and shooting, which is usually where my mind wanders.

Plus, I've only seen Keira Knightley in "Love Actually", where she's just about the nicest person on the planet, so it was a bit wierd when the film almost started out with her shouting 'PUT THE FUCKING GUN DOWN", but she was great. She was cool, calm and collected :-)
Apart from her, most of the other characters were quite funny and interesting as well - there was a fantastic scene where one of the black women, Lateesha, is on Jerry Springer promoting new names for mixed races, calling herself a "blacktino" (or something similar) - oh my God.

Definitely go watch it.

And not just because Brian Austen Green and Ian Ziering also both are way cooler here than they ever were in "90210" :-D
