With or without the lesbian scene.
- If you love action film especially with arse kicking female lead, you should go see it.
- Delphine ain’t a queer bait, y’all. I like the cuddling scene between Lorraine and Delphine more than their love scene. Points to the dialogue in the cuddling scene too.
- Lorraine’s growth/change can be seen both in her action and dialogue. [hint 1: the scene Lorrain is looking across the Berlin wall. hint 2: the dialogue in the cuddling scene and so on.]
- Lorraine has tears in her eyes when she mentions Delphine’s death during a scene near the end.
Yes, I know an LGBTQ+ and cute as fuck character dies. But Delphine’s role was gender flipped, y’all. This character is originally male. Plus, in the beginning of the film, Lorraine’s male bae is the first character to die. I’m gay af but I don’t think we should snub this film because Delphine is dead.
- The action choreography in this film is insane! There is a continual action scene in a building and it goes on for 10 or 15 minutes without cut. At All. Fucking brilliant.
Truth be told, I went to watch it because of Charlize and David Leitch, the director but I fell in love with Sofia Boutella’s and James McAvoy’s performance too (I’ve always loved McAvoy) and I love the plot twist as well.
[SPOILER ALERT]
Delphine is the reason Lorraine has changed for the better.
The scene in B Story when Lorraine has a gun at Delphine’s head, it shows that Delphine cares about Lorraine’s male bae who gets killed when she doesn’t even know that Lorraine and the poor bastard had been in a relationship. Delphine dies trying to help Lorraine without even knowing that Lorraine is actually Satchel.
