Why are two women mercenaries in this?


Is it for more sex appeal or to push a feminist agenda? I hope it’s the former.

It's neither. There's a semi-sexy ladies locker room scene, but the fights with women vs men were no less realistic than the man vs man fights. None of the action was very realistic, the good guys all have super-human accuracy and everybody seems to be able to take hits that should knock them right the fuck out.

I think the women were in it because 1. They want to avoid angry feminists, 2. Ronda and Lauren will sell tickets.

Spoilers:
[spoiler]
Ronda gets shot and blown up twice, and only has a very quick hand to hand fight scene. Lauren gets her ass beat in a pretty good hand to hand fight, and would've died if not rescued by Iko and Marky Mark. In the end only Marky Mark and Iko survive.
