Mehso-so


The remnants of a badass crew come together for one last job. To rescue the crewmate they all thought lost long ago.

There was a lot I liked about this. We‘re dropped right into a huge amazing world with a diverse & grizzled cast of women. But also, the action is almost non stop, there‘s an about turn in goals in the last 15%, a lot more body horror than I was expecting, & none of these ladies felt as old as they‘re supposed to be. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
