“Sweet Girl consists of several core film ideas that have been executed better in the past (namely the Jason Bourne series, however the dark aesthetic to the film was underpinned well by the understandable emotion felt by the two main characters. Jason Momoa and Isabela Merced performed well throughout despite a slightly under-written script. Did I enjoy this film? Yes, I believe so. Do I walk away from it with a lasting memory? Not so much. If you are keen on action, try Sweet Girl. But if you are seeking a highly advanced, memorable thriller film, come back to it later.”
