Let's stick with the 'Updated Fairy Tale' Theme here and go to an old enemy...I mean, friend (?)- The Asylum.
Will this 2024 Snow White Film work where- apparently- Disney's did not?
Let's find out...
This is rendered moot when he's killed in literally the first 5 minutes.
Whoops.
Why is she called 'Snow White,' you ask?
Because her Dad was a COCAINE Kingpin.
Because her Dad was a COCAINE Kingpin.
No, really.
In the wake of his death, she gets the empire, but the Wife sends a (hunts)man to kill her.
Is that...B.A. breaking bad?!?
She survives, of course, but now the Wife is working to take over the whole Empire!
You know- his Kingdom!
Our Heroine is saved by a woman who turns out to be part of a group of Lady Samurais (with about 2 Asians in the group of 7) who call themselves Omninusha.
The Close Captions don't agree, as it always comes out as Onee-Musha.
They are the remains of an elite group of fighters and defenders of peace.
They are shadows.
They are the night.
They are the night.
They are...kind of bad at this.
I'll spare you the Plot Twist this one time. Sorry, not sorry.
The Wife is an expert fighter and fends off the other Omnimusha.
How?
She was one herself!
Where have I seen that exact Plot Twist with an elite group of female fighters before?
Can they stop her?
Can Snow White get her revenge?
To find out, stream this one now.
A pretty silly Movie that plays it 1,000% straight.
Consider the Plot- heretofore unknown Elite Samurai must stop an expert Fighter from taking over the Drug Cartels alongside a lady who has only trained with them for like a week.
Does that sound silly? Yes.
Do they think so? No.
Do they think so? No.
Positives- there are some good fight Scenes, and they do mine some decent pathos out of this one. It's not much, but the one-on-one fights are somewhere between a Direct-to-Streaming Film (like this) or stuff that tries to be John Wick.
The Pacing is the big issue as the middle is taken up by 'Let's Train Snow White' for ages. It wasn't a great choice or execution.
Beyond just a silly pun Title, this one is alright, but not much more. Speaking of that Title, it's one so old and obvious that even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon made it when I was a kid!
A pretty so-so Film with some decent fights and action. It's just too bad that the same effort didn't go into the Script and Production Values that went into the sparring.
