I enjoyed the movie because I'm always waiting for Monique to make a comeback. I miss her in the big movies. This though was a brain teaser. I loved the plot twist, but the story needed a little more. The movie was going well up until the thrilling parts became more comedic in the end. Monique still showed her chops though. I will recommend and watch again. The only part I hate is why the did the kids have to die? I don't like it when kids are killed, especially by the parent. I think it would have been better if they were actually killed by home invaders and that she was actually coping with them dying by doing interviews and writing and then the reading became a way for us to learn why they were killed because the father was in debt and they were actually trying to find diamonds and she survived to get vengeance on the perpetrators. All in all I enjoyed watching Monique act. The new comers I guess were OK. And that scene where she was stabbing the girl, it was so fake and you could see it was a fake knife. Poor visuals effects. Oh my goodness, you get shot in the chest I don't care if it's with a 22 or not you not doing none of that afterwards. First off you lung are going to collapse from filling up with blood. Then you not crawling around after getting shot in the head. Just poor writing and directing. I still love Monique and a die hard fan. Will watch anything see is in. So get her back to work it's been too long. I noticed them workouts help you with those scenes girl... One of your sweet babies.
