SWEET GIRL: Review

Currently number one on Netflix, Jason Momoa is out to get his revenge on the man who took the life saving drug off the shelves that his dying wife needed in the new Netflix movie Sweet Girl.

Sweet Girl from the start suffers from a weak inciting incident with Jason Momoa’s character Ray seeking revenge on the CEO of BioPrime for bribing a company to take a life saving drug off the shelves that his wife needed. Not that she would’ve gotten the drug in time because she died not long after that. And I know Momoa is a big dude but having an ordinary dad and husband kill didn’t feel realistic to me, but this is a movie.

Sweet Girl had the chance to be that father-daughter action duo film but later abandoned that with the twist reveal of it was the daughter, who was suffering from PTSD, and the one out for revenge all along while Jason’s character died earlier in the film. An interesting, good or bad will depend on the viewer, plot twist choice that threw me off in a good way and made the film slightly better. I will say that Isabela Merced who played Rachel Cooper was the best part and stands out of the whole thing. Jason Momoa may have been the lead, but Isabela Merced was the star, and you could tell.

Sweet Girl felt like any other Cliché action film and not the good cliché more like an OK cliché, but as an action alone serves its purpose while plot lack lusters. A film you watch once then forget about it.

Rating: 3/5
