One Line Review: Youโll have thrills and chills going down your gut while following along the story.
What’s it About?
Blake Lively plays the role of a hurt woman who will kill all the people who killed her family. She came all the way from The Gossip Girl to this movie. It is quite a treat to watch her do justice with her role as a strong and merciless woman.
My rating for this movie is 7/10.

Plot/StoryLine
Stephanie was traveling on a plane with her family when the plane crashes. She loses her family in that crash and has nothing to do with her life now.
One day she finds out that the accident in which she lost her family wasnโt actually a crash but was carefully planned by a group of terrorists. She finds a beat in her life and her only goal is to find every single person in that group and have him killed by her own hands. She goes from a soft and kind housewife to a female James Bond in no time.
What’s to Like/Dislike?
Performance ?
Sure as hell Blakeโs performance is litt in this movie and thatโs the thing that saved this movie from being a disaster. As you can already tell, all the reviews are about Blakeโs performance, no one is talking about the movie. Because there are tons of things that could have been done correctly including the climax and character arc of Stephanie.
Direction ?
Despite all the errors, this movie managed to resemble the soul characteristics of its source The Rythem Section (Book) by Mark Burnell.
Youโll have thrills and chills going down your gut while following along the story. Youโll feel the pain of the character, youโll feel the anger, thatโs how good the acting and direction is.
Farewell Words
Fans of The Gossip Girl are super happy to see Blake doing such a manly and bold role in The Rythem Section and as I also said, it is quite a treat to the eyes to watch her doing justice to this role.
Look, I canโt speak for all those people, but I can say Iโm no expert to point out minor defaults in a movie. Donโt take my words or their words, Go watch – check this piece out and find out which side youโre on.
Movies are work of fiction and entertainment, there will be some things which will go over the top from reality. Just enjoy the experience, donโt look for realism. I mean, people watch Marvel movies, is there any realism in them? (Yep, I said it).
