Sweet Girl is a 2021 English language action thriller film recently released on Netflix. The movie got mixed reviews by viewers.
Now coming to the story, it’s about big pharmaceutical companies who run after big profit and go by politics without caring about life of common people. The story is a small showcase of that and a family suffering due to it.
Amanda Cooper falls ill with a rare form of cancer and her husband Ray Cooper, is told that a potentially life-saving drug for his wife was taken off the market days before her treatment was about to begin, due to BioPrime CEO Simon Keeley paying the manufacturer to delay production to make profit. Watching Keeley on a live debate with Congresswoman Diana Morgan on a news channel, Ray calls in and threatens Keeley to kill him if his wife dies. Keeley doesn’t take the threat seriously and Amanda passes away soon after, devastating Ray and their daughter, Rachel.
Months later, Ray receives a call from a journalist telling him that he has evidence of crimes committed by BioPrime. They meet on a subway, unknowingly followed by Rachel and a hitman. The journalist explains that BioPrime has been bribing anyone who questions their dirty deeds, but before he can share his information, the hitman stabs him dead. As the train stops at a station, hitman also stabs Ray and knocks out Rachel.
Two years later Ray decide to go after Bioprime again and the real story starts from here.
Who is behind all this chaos? The real reason of common man suffering? What’s the role of sweet girl into all this? And how Ray is going to end this? To know more you need to watch the movie as we all know I never reveal the spoilers.
The story has a good twist as well and the action scenes are pretty good too. The critic said the movie was a waste of great talent but everyone liked the action and stunts in the film.
The film was not a waste of talent as the acting part was also great. The problem was with the script which everyone felt that it could have been much better.
Even with great action scenes the story was a bit sloppy in between and you feel like skipping it. The film goes from boring to exciting nd boring again to great action was a kind of roller coaster ride which not everyone enjoy.
Overall the film is an average and if you wanna watch the movie you can go for it and even uf you skip it, then don’t worry you haven’t missed much. But yes the action and stunts are good as per the budget.
Rating: 5.7/10
