Low voltage fun
Feeling like a low powered Crank with a female twist. Never quite sure whether to go full out violent or go for comedy value. So it ends up some where in the middle and with a weak revenge story it's not going to jolt your memory long after.
Kate Beckinsale with her sarcastic blunt quips does make it fairly enjoyable and the supporting cast is pretty decent. OK for a watch but not one to go out of your way to catch.
Why try to Americanise the location as well? European cars, English street signs and scenes shot on the Southbank and quite a few using the Tate Modern location for the villians pad. A couple of fire hydrants, yellow taxis and a school bus to make it look set in New York seem pointless.

Boy, was that brutal.

But not as brutal as the original Daredevil Netflix-era shows from which it follows on.

Daredevil was, I believe, the first of those Netflix-era shows (followed by Jessica Jones, then Luke Cage, the Punisher, Iron Fist and The Defenders), before they disappeared off that platform following the introduction of Disney+ and seemed to be in hibernation.

Until Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock turned up in "Spider-man: No Way Home" ("I'm a really good lawyer), hinting towards his other persona before also appearing in Disney Plus's "She-Hulk" and having a cameo in "Echo".

Vincent D'Onforia's Kingpin, for his part, appeared in both "Hawkeye" and "Echo".

But this, I believe, is the first time the two of them have shared a screen since the Netflix era, with - here - both seemingly haven given up their old ways until becomes mayor of New York ...
