Violet & Daisy (2013) R Violet (Alexis Bledel) and Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) are not just your ordinary teenager girls. They do love clothes and the music of their favorite pop star, Barbie Sunday. But, the girls are a little different from your average teenager, as they are assassins for hire. When they discover that Barbie Sunday has designed a costly dress, they take a hit job – a job that may change their lives forever. This is one of those strange “Indie” films that just doesn’t quite hit the mark. It tries to be quirky but ends up being kind of clunky in its storytelling. I liked Bledel and Ronan as the two lead characters, but the film tries too hard to be unconventional, making the film hard to really like. Visually, it’s an interesting picture, but the storyline and the wordy dialogue slow down the picture to a degree that you really hope for any sort of action to speed things up. It’s an ambitious film that never quite figured out what kind of film it wanted to be. My Rating: Bargain Matinee
