Lou

The new action-drama film on Netflix, "Lou," is an average watch at best, with predictable plot points, no exceptional acting performances, and dialogues ...

Philip now catches up to the two women, and Lou decides to stay back and fight her son while Hannah and Vee make their safe exit from the place. While Philip was a fugitive wanted for his war crimes, Lou had in her personal possession documents (the papers and photos she burned at the beginning of the film) that would prove the CIA’s involvement in the revolution in Iran. Now that Vee was missing, and a postcard with a message and a picture of Vee with Philip had been left behind, Hannah was sure that her husband had faked his death and had now returned. As part of her job, she had to go undercover to get very close to a high-profile target in Iran during the years of the Islamic Revolution. The sheer fact that a solitary person like Lou easily agreed to help Hannah, and then her constant collecting of the notes that Philip was leaving behind at every stage, added to her age in relation to the other characters, made it very obvious that she was Philip’s mother. Philip takes her to the coast, from where he was supposed to take a boat to the mainland, but the terrible weather stops his plans, and they have to take shelter at a nearby cave for the night. She had ensured that Hannah moved to Orcas with her daughter Vee, and then she herself had moved in close to them to protect them from Philip, for she too knew that he would come back. Intervening in the whole act and not even realizing it, Hannah pleads with Lou to help her save her daughter from her vengeful husband, who has returned, and Lou agrees. While the two women try to find the missing girl, Philip makes his way through the forest with Vee, and at first, he uses a small cart to safely carry his daughter. On the day the film’s plot starts to unfold, the Orcas Island residents await a treacherous storm to hit the area that evening, and that very morning, Lou is seen stacking up items. A complete loner by choice, her only companion is a loyal dog named Jax, and it is with him by her side that Lou often goes out on hunts, even when it is not hunting season. A tale of bitter relations from the past is cooked up and sewn with the thrills of spy action, but none of it ultimately makes the film a watch worth remembering.
