Hello Movie Lovers🍿🎦🎬📽️♥️
I can't believe it's been so long since I came to my favourite movie community to share my recent movie experiences and reviews, hustle has been more intense making me super busy this days.
Today I would be reviewing a 2023 action and comedy movie "Wingwomen".
"Wingwomen" is a French action-comedy film which was directed by Mélanie Laurent, who also stars in the movie alongside Adèle Exarchopoulos and Manon Bresch.
Before writing this review, I made some findings on the movie, I was surprised to see that the movie had an adaptation from a novel.
The film is based on the graphic novel "La Grande Odalisque" by Jérôme Mulot, Florent Ruppert, and Bastien Vivès.
I watched the movie this last Sunday, I must confess I really enjoyed the all women star movie, although the movie did not meet up some of my expectations but I still really have a good time watching the movie.
Let's delve into the plot:
The movie begins with an opening scene where Carole(running from some hitmen, because of the diamond she and her colleague Alex stole)
Carole (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Alex (played by Mélanie Laurent), who work for a mysterious figure known as "Godmother" (Isabelle Adjani), the Godmother has been their boss, that lady was a very cold criminal. one of the two thiefs thought about how dangerous the work is for her, so she decides to quit the job. As they plan to exit the business, Godmother assigns them one last job, which becomes a complicated heist involving architectural plans, weapons, and a famous art piece. The duo recruits Sam (played by Leïla Bekhti), a widowed race car driver, to be their getaway driver, and together they navigate a thrilling adventure filled with twists and turns.
Things I love about the movie:
I love the Action Sequence, trust me when i say The film's action sequences are well-choreographed and intense, with a particular standout being the high-speed car chase scenes.
Also One of the film's strongest aspects is the portrayal of the bond between Carole and Alex (Our two Star in the movie). Their chemistry is undeniable, and their banter adds a layer of humor and warmth to the film. The dynamic between the two leads is engaging and adds depth to the story.
This movie also portrays female friendship and the blend in Action and comedy is mind-blowing particularly noted.
Also I love the performance and the Visuals ( stunning location used for filming looks so pleasing to view).
The shortcomings of this movie;
First of all some part of the movie seems very predictable, I don't know much about the actress though but their performance carried the movie.
Another part I felt wasn't so good was the Character Development, of a truth the leads (Carole and Alex) have great chemistry, the supporting characters feel somewhat underdeveloped.
My Overall Rating of the film
I would rate this film an overall rating of 6 out of 10.
In Conclusion
I really enjoyed "Wingwomen", I think the movie is fun, action-packed with great performances and stunning visuals,it also has hilarious action-comedies scenes.
Wingwomen is definitely worth checking out regardless of the ratings you might have seen on all this critic websites.
