It's okay - an old book (or story) in a new cover. The action of Sweet Girl does not reach the same quality like Taken, The Equalizer or John Wick, or older ones like Death Wish (Charles Bronson) but you may kill some spare time without using much brainpower - if you can cope with the fact that a sweet little girl beats up rough men. One of those fast produced movies to fill some screen time - acting is okay, soundtrack and production too.

The film opens with Aquaman talking the Jason Bourne jump off of a building. We then go back in time. Ray Cooper (Jason Momoa) and his daughter Rachel (Isabela Merced) are with their mother when she dies from cancer. The miracle drug that could save her was suddenly pulled from the market by Bioprime who spiked it. Ray meets a reporter who claims he has evidence it was all a scam involving all kinds of people and off shore accounts. After the reporter is stabbed right in front of him, Ray decides he wants answers. This leads to a trail of blood as Ray and his daughter are both fighters and are being hunted.

I liked the twist at the end, although I think it might have made a better film without it.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Ray Cooper (Jason Momoa) is devastated from his wife's cancer death after greedy Pharma executive Simon Keeley (Justin Bartha) withdraws an experimental life-saving drug. Ray vows revenge on national TV. He is contacted by an investigative reporter. His daughter Rachel (Isabela Merced) follows him to the meeting. The reporter is killed by an assassin. Ray and Rachel are both terribly hurt in the incident.

I'm fine with the last act. In fact, that adds a little spice to a generally bland Neeson-like script. I hated the Home Alone feel of the confrontations. If the hitman brings a gun, we bring a knife. If the hitman brings a knife, we bring a lamp. It gets a bit annoying. The ending helps a little with that but it still would be better if he simply turns into a cold-blooded killer. Nevertheless, this feels like a script from the Neeson rejects pile. Momoa will have to do better if he wishes to continue down this road.
