Answer: Has This Female John Wick With Jessica Alba Convinced Internet Users?

A month after the Atlas fiasco, Netflix is ​​trying its luck again with Riposte, a new action movie starring a badass female character. Jessica Alba, who came out of retirement for the occasion, plays an ex-soldier who returns to his hometown after the death of his father only to discover that he was actually murdered.

This female Rambo / John Wick, directed by Indonesian director Mouli Suria, is already at the top of the Netflix charts, beating the French blockbuster Sous la Seine. Still, subscribers are not kind to the film and its lead actor. With a dismal rating of 1.7 out of 5, Riposte is one of Netflix’s lowest rated productions of the year.

Viewers especially criticize it for the overly simple script, many inconsistencies and the quality of the direction. In general, Netflix has a hard time convincing these latest movies. And the reason is probably this: Due to the writers and actors strike that stopped filming last year, the platform has less new stuff to offer.

And in these cases, you have to draw from the existing stock. If Riposte hits our screens in 2024, the film will be shot… in late 2021. That’s why it’s been almost three years since Jessica Alba’s film has been quietly waiting in the drawer of Big Boss Ted Sarandos.

If this says a lot about its quality, it especially shows that Netflix keeps warm to certain productions to release them when its lineup is a little light (this is especially the case of The Old Guard 2 with Charlize Theron, which was filmed more than 2 years ago… ).

What did viewers think of Riposte?

“Disastrous movie, Netflix tries again with a fast food movie that doesn’t impress at all except for these botched special effects that almost make it seem like the hit is harmless” (Kaiser 10)

“It’s terribly poorly directed, the director didn’t try to keep us interested in this dark story, in which we lose interest by the end. Jessica Alba remains as an incredible baddie whose charm keeps us from escaping. (Estonia)

“A boring, uninteresting film where talking is necessary and the action is often grotesque. caricatures and forced representations. A scenario that no one believes. 1.5/5! (with a pleasant stay).” (Pascal I)

“” it is funny. This is the title of my review, this movie makes no sense and has no credibility, how can you make a fantasy a reality, men are literally letting it go. Everything is fake and nothing in the script makes sense.” (Ja Z)

“…uh…no…I’ve only watched Jessica Alba, forever The Dark Angel…but, Netflix script, cardboard acting, no real stakes, sluggish action scenes, she doesn’t really deliver, and neither does the heroine Yes it’s disappointing, a mix of John Rambo and Jackie Chan… less talent… in short, move on” (IanB)

“Neither good nor bad. The script is on the level of WALKER TEXAS RANGER. Are the actors the same… entertainment? Focus? barely. Don’t waste your time, look at something else. “(Tupine Olivier)

“What a fool. However, I am a fan of Jessica Alba. But there, no. Apart from the somewhat realistic battle scenes, there is nothing. The script was written in the corner of the table after a well-watered meal. And most importantly, stop shooting in the dark, it annoys me. In short, go your own way” (ChrisZeMoviesFan)
