Walt Disney Studios used to turn fairy tales into animated films, sending young girls off on adventures, at the end of which they would turn into docile wives. That was then – this young girl sheds plenty of blood, seems to have no feelings and is a stranger to empathy. Except that unbeknownst to her she's been genetically modified and isn't always able to make her own decisions. This extra dimension may be the only thing to move those who are prepared to swallow the plot whole.
