I am not going to say that Reese Witherspoon's acting is the best thing I have ever seen, but it does show the character she would come to perfect. She can manage to shoot and slash her way into our hearts while exemplifying the idiot savant. This ability is fundamental to the direction of this movie. Without it we wouldn’t have bought the plot moving as it did. Of course it helped the level of comic violence given to those serious brutal moments. Her innocence as opposed by the disingenuous environment she comes from and those around her attempting to take advantage of her apparent naivety. Keifer Sutherlands character is the perfect example, the wolf in the hen yard that causes fear to compensate for something lacking inside. The movie does a great job of not taking itself too seriously while maintaining some level of realism. That quality is what keeps it moving towards something plot wise while giving a chuckle here and there. Looking forward to seeing the last piece you have chosen.

PS: Although I haven’t seen this yet, it’s been recommended heavily, including a Netflix suggestion that will never give up until I watch it… Is the last movie In Bruges?
