Plot: Devoted family man Ray Cooper, vows justice against the pharmaceutical company responsible for pulling a potentially life saving drug from the market just before his wife (Adria Arjona) dies from cancer. But when his search for the truth leads to a deadly encounter that puts Ray and his daughter Rachel (Isabela Merced) in harm's way, Ray's mission turns into a quest for vengeance in order to protect the only family he has left.
My Movie Review: The movie is a wasted opportunity everything felt great it had some good action scenes but the twist ruin it all and its unforgivable like everything become useless story felt too bland and dragged out. Momoa and Merced had great chemistry as dad and daughter, but her as an action character taking out big guys was laughable after all its false just a illusion! Sweet Girl is a very exact example of twist gone wrong and the girl isn't sweet why Sweet Girl this flick gives more sour though vibes- punch to punch- talk about from 100 going 0 real quick! Jason Momoa is just one of those guys you can’t help but love, acting was definitely realistic when he was at the hospital but even he can't save this fiasco probably the worst role his be in! Always another bender it lost control I thought they get back when it came back home but never had it did I as they play heart's a trick and all the magic we felt was just a hit hard heavy! Night Shyamalan-style twist that completely alters the audience's perception of the entire film! It turns out Jason Momoa's Ray died due to the stab wound inflicted by Amo Santos during Sweet Girl's opening 30 minutes you know how to make a girl cry sneaking in a bed full of lies:) What's wrong how they did it blindsided everyone and felt like robbed us a good story to enjoy!
Critics Consensus: Burdened with action clichés and tripped up by a late plot twist, Sweet Girl wastes potentially resonant story and some solid work from its well-matched leads. Lower your expectations, Jason Momoa fans he's an entertaining action star, but Sweet Girl is a slow journey to an unforgivably dopey twist. A dour slog through rote conspiratorial territory without a distinguishing factor to be found beyond the capable lead. A cynical and violent exercise that never figures out which story it wants to tell. The plot is wilfully dumb, the message pernicious. Momoa walks through it, his emotions running the gamut from A to... well, just A. And about two-thirds in there is a huge twist that does not work for this viewer. I can see the intention: to put a different cast on everything that has happen, all the violence and mayhem. A sprawling, bruising, sometimes convoluted, often emotionally exhausting drama with action sequences stitched into it. The film's true stars are the stunt and fight coordinators who render these clashes in visceral, mostly realistic fashion, although they eventually lose impact through their sheer repetitiveness. Mendoza kept me locked into his story, confused and frustrated at times, but entertained throughout. Jason Momoa's bitterly bad actioner has none redeeming features!
