Our take
The Shadow Strays is a stylish assassin action movie: lots of killing, blood on the floor, and a crime plot that includes meth and an overdose. Expect f-word language and a grim, relentless body count. Not a teen superhero picture. Older teens and adults who already watch hard action
Story (may spoil tone)
Skilled in the art of killing, a young assassin defies her mentor to save a boy from a ruthless crime syndicate â and she'll destroy anyone in her path.

Talk after watching
- Killing is this character's job. What does that do to a person?
- Drugs and overdoses sit next to the fights. How does the film treat those deaths?
