The Villainess (2017)

The Villainess (2017). Had this movie in "my stuff" on my Hulu account for a little while now. It shows that it's expiriing but, of course, doesn't show when so I figured with the snowpocalypse going that I'd use the opportunity to watch it.

I think I know why I've been postponing watching. It's because it has no English audio and I'd have to read subtitles so I can't multi-task while watching the movie. However, as mentioned above, it's expiring so I had to buckle down for some reading.

The movie started off with some pretty good action. Some graphic bloody fighting and violence with a majority of it shot in the first-person view. Reminded me a little bit of Hardcore Henry. The middle of the movie lulled a little bit with some slower action and storytelling. There were some flashbacks throughout the movie for reference. The end was filled with the same bloody fighting as in the beginning.

This wasn't too bad of a movie. I did have to watch it over two days. Partly because we were without power for most of the past two days and partly because I just couldn't sit and read subtitles for the entirety of the movie in one sitting.

FINAL VERDICT: I would recommend this movie. I would have enjoyed it and watched it much sooner had there been English audio. Although tedious to read subtitles, they didn't interrupt or takeaway from the action when it occurred. So, yeah, definitely watch it on Hulu for "free".
