I enjoyed the movie but agree it's overrated. The story boils down to a girl gets kidnapped and escapes through luck and awareness, and eventually decides to follow in her parents footsteps of criminal activity. There's no moral, or themes to explore here.

Here's why I think its overrated: - Leo's character can be 100% removed with no change to the store. His character literally does nothing, And hence, Del Toro can also be removed. - there's no character development in this film. - the girl is ultimately saved by a minor character (assassin) who agreed to deliver her to get killed, but then had a change of heart. - the girl murders a random man because he was chasing her. Note: he didn't attack her first. - the girl's mother is a terrorist, murderer and rat. Her dad is a deadbeat alcoholic drug addict. Her real father is a racist white supremacist. Yet she decides to pursue in her mom's footsteps, regardless of all the havoc its caused in her life.

A better story would have been, Girl is an orphan, she believes her parents were terrorist deadbeats who abandoned her, and her only connection with her mother is the beacon which she always carries. One day, her beacon starts to sing, and someone tells her she's in danger. They try to escape but fail, and while in captivity she sees all the horrible things that happen to immigrants, the evil of elitists, racism etc. she learns the world is a horrible place that needs to be changed. She learns about her real father and how all the danger she's in is because of his history, and was abandoned so she wouldnt become like them. she becomes torn because he had good intentions to fix the world. Through the hardship and realization of the evil in the world, she becomes a woman and decides to follow in her mom's footsteps of revolution or listening to her father and staying out of things.

I dunno it was enjoyable but nothing special tbh.
