I think what prompted me to say something here is a comment up above that the women were cry-babies. First, I saw this movie on DVD--not really my thing, but as far as things like this go--not that bad. Perhaps it's because FXs these days have put everyone in a strange imaginary place where people see people hacked to bits or balance on the side of a tall bilding and shrug--but my own experience with real danger suggests something else.

Most people, when faced with what the women in the story were faced with would have died of a heart attack or be curled in a corner somewhere sucking their thumb. Let's get real--people when faced with out-of-control danger 1/100 of what these women faced require therapy for a decade. Ask some of our soldiers coming back from Iraq what "reality" feels like.

If anything, I would criticize this movie for being way over the top in terms of the super-hero depiction of the protagonists. What's really good is when danger is portrayed in a more realistic way. Comic book danger is just not that dangerous.
