Cast: Simon Abkarian, Amalia Holm

This came up on a 'suggested' list on Prime, with "idea by Luc Besson" as a tag, so I watched it.

I'm not sure if this started as a web series, it does look more for TV than cinema, but that's ok as I was watching on TV; I enjoyed it. It's a low budget (very low budget) version of Nikita. Amalia Holm is a very watchable actor, I've not seen any of her other work but will, she does come across as very likeable, which is essential for a good assassin. The action is generally well done. You can tell when a movie is made with heart and this one is; I would definitely watch Playground 2 as this is a good origin movie.

I've tried to write the review that I would have wanted to read before watching this film, I hope it is helpful!

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

A solitary teen enrolls in an academy for aspiring assassins, honing her skills while investigating her parents' mysterious deaths.
