Lady assassins kicking ass and taking names!

When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever.

Where does it take place?
Somewhere...

Why did I decide to watch this?
I heard good things and I'm all for girl power movies.

How did I like this?
The best way to describe this is as Sin City for girls. Which is actually a terrible comparison because I'm a girl and I liked Sin City. But I hope you get the idea.

The first hour was a little rough, not bad, but just alright. After that it picks up and is really fun. I'm also a sucker for movies (and books) that take place over just one day, so that worked for me. And what's not to love about assassin librarians?!
