I'm not one of those Social Justice types that complains about womens roles in every film (In fact I despise those types), but even for me hearing women be called "bitch" and "whore" for the entire running time is exhausting..
I'm not sure what kind of cool, tough feminist icons you think women are in the the actual underworld but that there are characters in the movie that only serve a very simple purpose is a device used by all movies ever. Characters exist only to be raped or killed or to provide information to further the story.
The fact that the roles in the movie are not expertly written is not limited to the women's roles.
I'm sorry that it's exhausting for you to hear women being called "bitches", but as long as you don't get exhausted from seeing men beaten,tortured and killed (for very little reason and with NO consequences) or portrayed as evil, violent psychopaths at least you can get through almost every action movie in existence without exhaustion setting in. So that's a plus.
I'm just trying to understand the extreme hate for this film and I think I get it. It's a feminist thing, right? It's more emotional than logical, maybe? -Which is fine, btw, but it's just not my thing.
To me it's just another disappointing, kinda shitty action movie, not so much a display of power from the evil Patriarchy.
