Sheroes

If you find a bag full of drugs in Thailand the first thing you do is call the cops right? NO!! These chicks start doing drugs so that if the cops come now they're in jail for life. Well done. Firstly why go to Thailand in the first place? If they wanted to go to a house for the week just go to an AIRBNB in America. So somehow all four girls can just drop everything without any planning and fly away? Have you ever tried to organise a trip anywhere? It takes planning of your holidays from work doesn't it? So one chick is kidnapped. Here's a better idea, grab all four chicks at the house and get your drugs back. But no that would be far to realistic for this abortion of a film. So now they plan to rescue their friend. Queue the room full of guns. So now it's time to fire guns. They're in a marina full of boats and nobody calls the cops on them. Can you really keep watching at this point? If in doubt keep watching because it improves when they catch the head of the Cartel. It's ultimately not a bad film and it was someones first go at making something. From that perspective it's not a bad effort but the film actually believes the story it's telling. Like I'm sure this guy that wrote this thinks it's a serious story when it's the most unrealistic load of crap you'll ever see. They're throwing nades and setting off explosives. It's beyond belief.

Four hot friends go on vacation together when Diamond's (Sasha Luss) dad lets them use his vacation home in Phuket, Thailand. Ezra (Isabelle Fuhrman) is an actress who has slept with Diamond's dad, an action movie hero which doesn't make her happy. Ryder (Wallis Day) and Daisy (Skai Jackson) round out the foursome flying on daddy's private plane. Their stated goal is to have sex on cocaine as if they can't do that in California. A mix up in the luggage gives the girls a large amount of cocaine belonging to the Thai cartel. Daisy ends up kidnapped and the cartel wants their product back. Diamond convinces the others to take action into their own hands as she has seen and "lived" all of her dad's films. It was a fun film watching three women who look like models take on a cartel. Good film for those who liked Charlie's Angels. Guide: F-word. Brief sex. Brief shadow nudity (Sasha Luss)

From the synopsis, I thought that this might be a little fun movie to while away the time, I was right. It was nice to see Isabelle Fuhrman (Ezra) being all feminine and sexy, especially after I had recently seen her in Orphan: First Kill (2022) . Wallis Day (Ryder) played the part of the fighter, but was portrayed to look like Wallis Day in Charlie's Angels (2019) , but that was in my opinion. Sasha Luss (Diamond) played the part well enough, but I couldn't take to her character. Skai Jackson (Daisy) was just the helpless love interest that needed to be rescued. With a relatively small budget (around $20 million), I think that the movie was done well enough. A bigger budget would have produced a much better experience, but it is what is. Some acting is rubbish and is definitely a B level performance. The writing, it's easy to see where some of the inspiration came from, just didn't have the budget to produce it for the screen. Don't expect big budget effects and polish, and you will probably enjoy it. I would recommend this.

Right, well I was actually expecting the 2023 movie "Sheroes" to be an action comedy when I sat down to watch it. I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't really sure on just what I was getting into. And having just sat through 91 minutes of "Sheroes", I have to say wow. Just wow! This movie, from writer and director Jordan Gertner was just a bitter pill to swallow. While the storyline started out adequately, and definitely seemed like a comedy, the movie just quickly took a turn and become an action movie. But it just didn't feel right in any way, especially since the characters were so very unlikely action heroines. They went from partying young adults to suddenly becoming highly trained ladies capable of taking down a Thai drug cartel singlehandedly, something which several countries had been unsuccessful in doing. Yeah, that was very plausible and believable. The storyline in the movie just felt awkward, because I am sure that writer and director Jordan Gertner were fully serious about the plot, storyline, characters and the contents of the story. While I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, I will say that the actresses and actors on the cast list actually performed adequately, despite of a very laughable script they had to work with. If you enjoy action movies, then perhaps you would get a kick out of watching "Sheroes", if you can get past the fact that the director was fully serious about what was transpiring on the screen. I managed to sit through the movie, and found some bizarre, odd entertainment to the ludicrous plot. However, this is not a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time. My rating of writer and director Jordan Gertner's 2023 movie "Sheroes" lands on a four out of ten stars.
