Really Surprised!

A Brilliant Conflict

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

As is the case with 99 out of 100 Horror films here, Final Girl got a real raw deal. I always say that people should judge for themselves, watch a film if the trailer/poster/whatever caught their attention and take a chance. In this case - I must implore anyone and everyone to give this film a try. Even if your ultimate experience is indeed disappointing, it won't be half as bad as to justify the low rating and terrible reviews here.Final Girl is simply a fun, satisfying revenge flick telling the story of some sort of operative in a secret above-the-law agency given the task of eliminating five stereotypical psychopaths who enjoy toying with girls before killing them. I would have personally liked to see more of their evil deeds so as to enjoy their punishment all the more. Cheap, maybe, but utterly satisfying nonetheless. True, this revenge concept has been done before, and a lot better (see: I Spit On Your Grave) but not every film has to be a groundbreaking act of genius in order to be fun and rewarding. I personally enjoyed every second, every bit and every death of the villains. Add to that excellent characters, on-the-spot acting and great overall atmosphere and you get a wonderful experience of bad guys suffering beautifully painful consequences.Final Girl if far from being perfect or even impressive. I personally enjoy a nice hamburger from time to time even if it isn't a premium steak. In my opinion - so should you. A solid 8 turned to 9 just to try and compensate for all those trashing it for no good reason what-so-ever.

We meet Veronica as a child whose parents died. She has a photographic memory and gets trained for a future job. In a poorly developed subplot 4 guys hunt and kill a woman in the woods. Veronica (Abigail Breslin) who has been in some sort of training for 12 years, practices stuff she should already know. Her photographic memory never enters the script again.Veronica agrees to go into the woods with the four boys with the intent of killing them.I thought the film was put together awkwardly and Abigail Breslin couldn't handle the role. She was completely unconvincing which may also be the fault of the director.Guide: No f-bomb, sex, or nudity.

****Spoilers****Let me start by saying this isn't unwatchable. But the problem is, it's not good either. A girl trained to assassinate four frat boys who assassinate girls. Why? We never really get a reason. It's not like they had a secret society that was difficult to infiltrate. I found it really hard to take Abigail Breslin serious at any point in the film and her trainer was equally as cheesy (I've appreciated his work in other projects.. but not here). It felt like the entire film was a sentence long and they did everything they could to fill in the gaps around it so it hit the 90 min mark. Frankly it could of been a brilliant 10-15 min short film... but stretched out over 90 minutes was almost painful. I don't want to discourage people from viewing it.. every film is an accomplishment and you really need to make your own judgement, but for me this was a loss.I will say the Frat boys stole the show, great group of actors stifled by mediocre writing. Hope to see them in other things!

I found this by searching for features by Abigail Breslin and, as expected, I rate it a lot, despite the IMDb user rating of 4.7.Her picking up the guy in the bar, only to mess him up, it is not all as sick as that. Later on she is facing guys who pick her up, with the intention of messing her up, and how she deals with that does not feel sick at all.The concept of a kid being reared for specialist 'rough tough' tasks has been covered well by Saoirse Ronan in Hanna (2011), also a bit in Violet And Daisy (2011). Add the big name quest series, Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter. Most definitely D.E.B.S. These do a good job in showing such roles as potentially damaging and Final Girl only gives hints of that. What it does have is some of the putridity of such an education, plus the final exam. Except that the exam itself feels weak, as if it is just a carrier for some hidden but rewarding story.
