Dirty Angels

This erratically plotted and scripted one off is not only a far cry from Campbell’s action heyday of “Casino Royale” but never capitalizes on anything nor anybody, not only Green but costars Maria Bakalova and Ruby Rose.

If you’re looking for that kind of mindless throwback violence, “Dirty Angels” delivers. If only it weren’t such a bore.

While the movie flouts traditional gender roles, it easily plays into stereotypes about race and religion.

What elevates “Dirty Angels” to the status of a solid slice of R-rated action entertainment is the stellar cast led by Eva Green and the surehanded direction from 81-year-old veteran Martin Campbell.

More of an abstract representation of how American culture remembers Afghanistan than having anything to say in terms of genre.

Dirty Angels is boring slop that at least has some good action direction.

In tandem with his co-writers, Campbell realizes that while gunfire, bombs, and car chases are integral to this type of movie, it will fall apart without an interesting, compelling main story, and a few surprise subplot twists along the way.

Dirty Angels is tone-deaf through and through and only finds that groove of entertaining action jingoism in its final 20 minutes&#59; the previous 80 are mostly upsetting and not in the way Martin Campbell intended

Martin Campbell's latest action movie is yet another misfire.

The action sequences are competently staged, but the mission feels overall more contrived than authentic.
