Mother's Day

Polish action movie where the protagonist is a former NATO special ops soldier. When her son (who she gave up for adoption at birth for his own protection) is kidnapped, she is pulled back into action to protect him and engage with former and new enemies. She is in many ways a typical badass woman action hero. Somehow, though, this has a different feel than American or even Asian action. Our protagonist simultaneously exudes strength of body and character and melancholy that is never a key character component. 

4 stars (out of 5)
