Carrie-Anne Moss
The Matrix Resurrections is a curious and fascinating sequel, one which is completely aware of its own existence but also confused about why it exists.
Plagued by strange memories, Neo’s life takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself back inside the Matrix.
The Bye Bye Man is an attempt at an urban legend slasher film that falls short due to its lack of scares and uninteresting story-line.
The figure of the action heroine in film has always been present to some extent, even looking back to some of the adventure shorts of silent cinema or the femme fatales of post-war film noir it could be argued that there were early incarnations of the action heroine that we recognise today. However, despite her presence as a figure across all genres and time periods, it has only been in the last few decades that we have really seen women taking centre stage in their own stories and action set pieces. Female led action films have rarely avoided criticism, such is the weight of expectation when women feature prominently in a genre in which they have more often than not been excluded or marginalised.
