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.

TV Show Rating

Despite limited screentime, and something like only two lines of dialogue in the entire film ("At last we reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have our revenge."), there's little doubt that Darth Maul was one of the standouts from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

So it's no surprise that, despite being (seemingly) killed off in the finale of that film that Lucas brought him back, first in The Clone Wars TV series, secondly as a cameo in 'Solo: A Star Wars movie" and (finally) as the main protagonist in this eight-episode animated offering.

And what an offering it is, with Sam Witwer's Maul as enigmatic as ever, and with a superb finale that sees a certain other Dark Lord of the Sith put in an appearance, showing why everyone (in universe) is just so afraid of him!

Well worth a watch.
