What critics said
Critics generally found the strong female-led cast and energetic action outweighed by a generic, predictable espionage story, thin characterization, and sluggish pacing.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The quartet races to retrieve a top-secret weapon after it falls into mercenary hands.
Mace, Marie, Khadijah, and Graciela form the central multinational team, with Lin Mi Sheng as a key opposing presence.
The mission moves through Paris, Morocco, and Shanghai while the agents pursue the weapon and evade their adversaries.
