THE RHYTHM SECTION is a contemporary adaptation of the first of British thriller writer Mark Burnell’s “Stephanie Patrick” series of four novels. Heroine, Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) is on a path of self-destruction after the death of her family in an airplane crash, a flight that she was meant to be on. After discovering that the crash was not an accident, her anger awakens a new sense of purpose and she rises to uncover the truth by adapting the identity of an assassin to track down those responsible. The new, and lethal, Stephanie Patrick is on a mission to fill the void between what she knows and what she is told. Other novels in Burnell’s popular series include “Gemini”, “The Third Woman” and “Chameleon”.
The Rhythm Section: I'm reading the book, I saw the movie
The Rhythm Section: I’m reading the book, I saw the movie
In the long, too-long list of my interests, I usually put, somewhere halfway through, espionage and spycraft. I grew up in a time when the movie franchise was James Bond, not Star Wars, and the idea that one day the epitome of awesome would be movies based on comic books was laughable. And while I never became a compulsive spy story reader, I have enjoyed the genre a lot, in a very scattershot…

The Rhythm Section Review
Coming from the studio that runs the 007 franchise, it is not surprising that their newest vegence-fuelled espionage thriller has all the trimmings of a female-lead Bond film. Stephanie Patrick (Blake Lively) is a British-born lass, with the blood-thirsty, grief-ravaged cause and a license to kill. But instead of being a crack shot assassin, she has the near-incompetence and susceptible mortality that gives her the relatability most other film assassins cannot evoke. Lively is the compelling central force that a film like this needed.
It's a sad world, filled with sad people where the prospect of a happier existence is a very long way off. Patrick has hit rock-bottom after a plane crash that killed her family. Her grief has lead her to a scuzzy area of London, down a path of prostitution and heroin addiction. It is when a journalist called Proctor (Raza Jeffrey) reveal his investigation about her families deaths being more than just an accident, that her thirst for vengeance spurs her to seek training as an assassin by a cynical ex-MI6 agent (Jude Law).
The film has meandered up to this point, but its Law's training of Lively, teaching her the importance of being calm and decisive, and provoking her to attack him while she’s in the middle of eating breakfast, is the trigger for the film to pick up the pace. This also has sprinklings of Luc Besson's Leon, with grizzled Jean Reno schooling young Natalie Portman in the assassin's conduct.
Based on Mark Burnell's series of novels (Burnell has also wrote the script), director Reed Morano has his finger on the pulse more with the combat sequences. Bone-crunching fist fights, and a particularly exciting car chase, have a claustrophobic structure which makes for a number of tense moments. But this is at the cost of the plot which becomes more silly as time passes. Lively remains impressive throughout - her unblemished English accent and her clear physical commitments to the role; if only the film was as taut as her performance deserves.
The Rhythm Section is a sound movie-night thriller, with Blake Lively making the film more engaging than it should be.
3/5
