The film seemed more interested in shocking puritans than building solid characters or a story. The attempt to construct tension between formerly adversarial nations is synthetic and juvenile, it just falls flat. The training sequences are laughable, contrived, and totally lacking in any sort of grounded text or performance.

It seems as if director Lawrence and actress Lawrence are trying to prove desperately how grown up they are while managing to communicate the exact opposite.

I would further venture to say the film is something of a mash-up of elements from Secret Weapons and La Femme Nikita, without the B-movie camp value of the former or the stylishness of the latter.
