I found this by searching for features by Abigail Breslin and, as expected, I rate it a lot, despite the IMDb user rating of 4.7.Her picking up the guy in the bar, only to mess him up, it is not all as sick as that. Later on she is facing guys who pick her up, with the intention of messing her up, and how she deals with that does not feel sick at all.The concept of a kid being reared for specialist 'rough tough' tasks has been covered well by Saoirse Ronan in Hanna (2011), also a bit in Violet And Daisy (2011). Add the big name quest series, Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter. Most definitely D.E.B.S. These do a good job in showing such roles as potentially damaging and Final Girl only gives hints of that. What it does have is some of the putridity of such an education, plus the final exam. Except that the exam itself feels weak, as if it is just a carrier for some hidden but rewarding story.

Not so much plot holes as one big plot chasm. Why go through all this complication to take out four hoodlums? William could have done it himself in a heartbeat. And what were the police doing in this town where more than a dozen young women have already disappeared? It's hard to believe no one could figure out who was at the bottom of it. As for the girls themselves: by the time several have already disappeared, is the next potential victim really going to agree to get in a car with four guys at night and drive off to wherever they decide to take her? And when she does, nobody remembers that they are the last people she was seen with? You can enjoy this movie, maybe, if you want something to fill up time with your brain in neutral, but otherwise there are just too many holes.

The movie Final Girl is a kind of a psychological cult film genre. The young girl sits opposite an adult man in a police station interrogation room at the beginning of the movie. This young girl is not like other girls her age because she is not emotional at the loss of her parents. In fact she is stone logical. This set of logical is noticed by the male interrogator whom then takes the young child and develops her into a killer. The male adult determines the 4 young men that the now 18 year old woman, with physical and psychological training needs to take on as some kind of a test of her violence. The 4 chosen young men are no doubt bad men however both sides: the woman and the 4 men all were lured into each others traps - each was going to kill the other side. To me this movie was not properly developed because the young girl, who is the main character did not have any character development. The viewer could not really feel an emotional connection to the girl because she appeared to be void of emotion.

I have always been a fan of Abigail Breslin since Little Miss Sunshine but this movie is really bad. The premise is so unpleasant and sickening it makes Hunger Games seem tasteful. She is so unconvincing as a fighting machine trained to take down some boys who hunt girls in the forest. This is no Kick Ass with it's humor and novel action. Things proceed glacially till a very silly and weak looking set of fights. Final Girl feels cheap boring and badly acted. Don't bother watching this.
