Charlie's Angels (霹靂嬌娃) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska. The supporting cast include Elizabeth Banks, Djimon Hounsou, Chris Pang, and Jonathan Tucker. Cameo appearances from Hailee Steinfeld, Lili Reinhart, Aly Raisman, Chloe Kim, Ronda Rousey, Danica Patrick, Laverne Cox, Michael Strahan, and Jaclyn Smith. This movie combines the television and previous films into a combined universe for the first time. A sequel would be difficult given that it bombed at the box office.
Kristen Stewart plays Sabina Wilson who is trying to get information from Jonny Smith, played by Chris Pang. Jane Kano, played by Ella Balinska, burst in as the information is obtained and they get away. Months later, Elena Houghlin played by Naomi Scott is a scientist that develops a energy conservation device called Calisto. However, the safetly of the device is in question and she tries to get that information out, eventually getting connected with the Angels. Let the fun begin with her employers want kill her. Recruited for an Angel spot, can these three angels save the day and stop Calisto from getting to the public?
This was a pretty entertaining film. I thought the main plot point of Calisto was a good one. A wanna be whistle blower that becomes an Angel. And the expansion of the universe gives it legs. I would even Sony going with a television series instead of a movie franchise. In essence, go back to its roots. But Sony doesn't have a Disney+ type platform to do this.
Kristen Stewart was the star of the movie. Her turn as Sabina was pretty awesome. Stewart is so far from her Eclipse days that I could see her in her element. I'd watch a Stewart film in a Bond type setting any day after this film.
