Eva Green is in my estimation, a really decent actress, so why on earth is she in whatever this is supposed to be? "Dirty Angels" is weighed down by a horribly hammy, pro US story, where allegedly kind old Uncle Sam (the other one who doesn't finance middle eastern extremists), takes on the mean old Middle Eastern terrorists, for the umpteenth time. Its entirely predictable fare, with the misogynistic terrorists getting their butts handed to them by the virtuous, if unkempt, female hit squad. Action is not well done, its clumsy and feels unbelievable. Characterisations are of the cardboard cut out variety, so no wins there either. In summary, I managed about two thirds of this before walking away. Its just not good on any level, squandering some genuine acting talent. What a shame.
