The good news is that, right from the get-go, this track manages to prove its worth, with healthy - not decimating, but healthy - gunshots, car crashes and growling plane engines, a memorable opening track, and a bevy of suitably painful confrontations (the body blows have veritable impact). We get an opening flashback scene to her origins, which does lay on some of the points it's trying to make a bit thickly.
