A standard 90's action drama that neither offends nor delights. Jason Momoa takes revenge on the pharmaceutical company who are partly responsible for his wife's death and is aided by his smart 18 year old daughter. I like that it's a bit different than the usual Russian mafia beatdown, but at the same time the film doesn't shine in any one aspect. The action is rather average, it’s not R-rated much and we don’t get to see any interesting moves either. The chemistry between Momoa and his daughter saves it a bit and is believable. It could have been half an hour shorter, the finale could have been more action-packed, the plot could have had some twist. and the action could have been more uncompromising. But Sweet Girl wanted to be and is just an action B-movie without any higher ambitions. It is a bit disappointing, but I guess it’s good enough to kill a Friday afternoon. Story 3/5, Action 3/5, Humour 0/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 3/5 Music 2/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 2/5. 6/10. (2021.08.20)

A solid nineties action flick with rather an unexpected twist. I began nodding off, but that woke me up some, so thumbs up. The topic of pharmaceutical machinations is very current: Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, they all play the same games, same as some of our politicians. Momoa gives us a good pissed dad; Merced was pleasantly surprising. Action average, but bloody. I don’t know why everyone expects a massive hit from every Netflix premiere; we all know this sort of TV offerings... they always oscillate around plain average. (2021.09.28)
