The cover of the dvd of Violet and Daisy would imply this is a high action drama. It's not. More action is talked about than actually happens. You need to enjoy the opening sequence if action is your thing, as it only repeats at a much lesser scale a couple of times more. We've seen unusual assassins in Hollywood before, as underlined by the popularity of Leon (1994). Killing Eve (2018) was probably influenced by this movie. The acting is good. The story is sweet, the script enjoyable. Essentially this is a story about re-enforcing relationships, discovering what is important. There is a tinkling soundtrack that adds to all this sweetness. The story almost comes undone as it relies almost entirely on the unusual nature of the assassins, basically, young femininity verses nonchalant cold bloodedness. The light hearted or unexpected moments come to the rescue, well timed. I liked the dream sequence and the Moon shot, you'll see what I mean, the filmmaker had an eye for art. Violet and Daisy is unusual idea done well.
