Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
Tired of life on the run, a pro thief decides to retire — but not before one easy last job with her partner in crime and a feisty new getaway driver.
Wingwomen is a breezy French action-comedy that leans heavily on well-worn heist tropes — the 'one last job' premise, the reluctant recruit, the complications that ensue. The female-led dynamic and graphic novel origins give it some personality, but the plot is formulaic and predictable throughout. Acting is solid with good chemistry between the leads, keeping the film entertaining despite its narrative limitations. Cinematography is competent and stylish enough for the genre without being particularly distinctive. The ending resolves things cleanly but without much surprise or emotional resonance, landing safely rather than memorably. Overall a serviceable but unremarkable entry in the heist-comedy genre.
