However, many critics noted that the film's ambitious plot contained some logical leaps and "plot holes the size of Manhattan," primarily because it tries to cram too much story into its runtime. Others found that while the first and third acts were engaging, the middle act dragged with standard action sequences that were less interesting than the film's core concept. Despite these criticisms, it's almost universally agreed that Noomi Rapace's performance as seven distinct sisters is a tour de force.
