“u0026quot;Youu0026#39;re not going to get away with thisu0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith this kind of brilliant u0026amp; very predictable dialogue u0026amp; a lead character who does everything wrong but somehow weu0026#39;re supposed to believe sheu0026#39;s meant to be a cop, itu0026#39;s not much of a leap to figure out why this gets a low rating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt doesnu0026#39;t help that thereu0026#39;s probably about 60 minutes of story here…tops. The editor seemed to have to use every moment of footage to fill out the 2-hour timeslot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s a cute idea at the core, but very little actual conflict. Just a bit of made-up conflict to try to make it feel like a story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt comes down to bad writing u0026amp; directing.”
