It's from the director of Equilibrium, which is why you can spot some similarities...actually maybe too many similarities.
Unfortunately, most movies that try to make a female protaognist look badass seem to fail miserably. Catwoman, Elektra, Tomb Raider, and Aeon Flux are some examples.
Kill Bill is a bit of an exception, but then again, the movie didn't really try hard to make Uma look like a badass with the exception of her one fight scene. Underworld can also be viewed as an exception, but then again that movie actually focused more on plot development then having Kate Beckinsale be all flashy.
Still...I'll see it when it arrives on DVD just for the more "fluid gun kata."
