They're lighting the spark to start the war.

Dec 1

For audiences in the mood for a Guy Ritchie movie, but who have somehow exhausted the prolific director’s back catalogue, “Wildcat” should scratch the itch.

The action flick Wildcat is a disjointed mess with horrible acting and sloppy stunts. It's a predictable and tedious story about a former special ops agent who goes to extremes when her underage daughter is kidnapped by gangsters.

4/10

Wildcat is named after an unpredictable and vicious animal, whereas this movie is easy to predict and lacks uniqueness.

2.5/5

Wildcat's convoluted plot doesn't really add up, but there's no denying a fun factor remains constant throughout. The bullets, beatdowns, and nutty characters are good fun in mindless viewing.

2.5/5

While it emulates the Cockney vernacular and mix of comedy similar to the works of Guy Ritchie, it’s a sloppy attempt that wastes the talents of Beckinsale and her co-stars.

3/5

Kate Beckinsale anchors James Nunn’s familiar but competently made Guy Ritchie-style action thriller.

Wildcat (2025) is a tense, character-driven thriller that exceeds expectations through its focus on resilience and intelligence. What begins as a familiar kidnapping premise quickly becomes a gripping survival story centered on emotional strength and adaptability. The film follows a CIA interpreter forced into an extreme situation, and instead of relying only on shock, it highlights her ability to think quickly and endure under pressure. The screenplay is tightly constructed, allowing tension to build naturally while keeping the protagonist at the emotional core of the story. Each choice feels earned, making her journey believable and engaging. The direction relies heavily on atmosphere and visual storytelling, using pacing and setting to convey fear and isolation without excessive dialogue. Although the film follows recognizable genre patterns, its strong character focus elevates it beyond standard thrillers. Ultimately, Wildcat is an engaging, well-crafted film that rewards viewers
