James Bamford’s movie follows a highly trained assassin raised in a CIA program called The Internship. Through abuse and torture, they are created into weapons. Reene (Lizzy Greene) tries to dismantle the institution that stole her childhood. She reaches out to others raised in the same system as they flee in the same system as they escape the clutches of those who want to kill them.

This spy mystery thriller has so much potential, yet for some reason, it fails to scratch the itch. The dialogue, action, and editing each played a part in this issue. Starting with the plot, it felt predictable, killing the mystery entirely. However, the ending wasn’t too bad; it actually gained a few points from that ending.

With promising characters that have room to be great, the dialogue and the film’s inconsistent direction clouded that. The delivery could be better. Additionally, the pacing should have been well-explored. Based on my assumption, the inconsistencies might have occurred due to the need to fit everything into the movie and not exceed a certain movie time. Making it into a short series would have given the movie time to breathe and more character depth.

As much as it wasn’t a perfect film, I highly enjoyed watching. I may be biased since I am a fan of Lizzy Greene, Megan Boone, and Alix Villaret.
