What’s largely a one-woman show for Millie Bobby Brown, this solid action flick finds the star as an unwitting sacrifice, left for dead in a dragon’s lair and forced to fight her way out. Girl power is, of course, the name of the game, and Brown is more than up for the task. Sure, parts of it feel kinda clunky and others are blemished by low-rent CGI, but it’s a worthy filler for those waiting in the deep dark void for season 5 of Brown’s ‘Stranger Things’. Robin Wright, Ray Winstone, and the woefully underused Angela Bassett round out the admirable cast.
3/5 stars
