I don't watch many movies. But I took today off to get drunk and picked this one first thing.
Wow. Just wow.
I very much liked the female assassin. I thought she was Gina Carrero since her mma seemed very realistic. Nope. Just an actress well trained for her role. And the camera loves her.

If you like the MMA genre, look for Ronda Rousey in movies.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3313925/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm
Because of her mother, a 7th degree black belt and 1984 World Judo Champion, Ronda took up the sport. She had a hard time socializing with other kids and found that Judo gave her confidence. She holds a 4th degree black belt in the martial art.
Ronda's Judo career is a storied one. At 17 she became the youngest judoka in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. That same year she won a gold medal at the World Junior Judo Championships in Budapest, and in 2006 she became the first U.S. female in almost 10 years to win an A-Level tournament going 5-0 to clench the gold at the World Cup in Great Britain. At 19 she won the bronze medal at the Junior World Championships. She is the first U.S. athlete to win two Junior World Medals. In 2007 she added a silver at the World Judo Championships and a gold at the Pan American Games. The pinnacle of her Judo career was a bronze at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Rousey became the first American to win an Olympic medal in women's Judo since it became an Olympic sport in 1992.

No longer. She would get me on the ground and dislocate my elbows.

She was very good in Expendables 3.
