This started off fairly promisingly. Nothing original, but well done to begin with and, more importantly, well paced. The protagonist showed herself to be resourceful. We have to suspend our disbelief a bit in how she distracts the antagonist, but that's fine.
Then the dialogue took over, and I started thinking the film was written by an angry teenager who wants to change the world. How many hot button issues can you cram into one conversation? All of them, apparently. The film tries too hard to pander to the echo chamber the writer clearly lives in and (sledge)hammers the points home with the subtly of a young bull in field of cows.
We know extremists are dangerous. We don't need the social commentary regurgitated every time a new writer enters the genre.
