SERENA AND THE RATTS

Cinemavixion Review

Kevin James Barry's 2012 indie offering, "Serena and the Ratts," presents a compelling, albeit low-budget, take on the assassin thriller genre, infused with a speculative twist. The film centers on Serena, a young woman honed into a lethal operative, who is drawn into a clandestine conflict when contracted to thwart a planned assassination of a significant figure. Her mission takes a more complex turn as she aligns with a renegade faction, uncovering a plot that involves altering history itself through time travel. While the film boasts a modest IMDb rating of 3.9/10, its narrative ambition, featuring a blend of action and sci-fi elements, warrants attention for fans of the genre. The presence of Evalena Marie, Jonathan Thomson, and Dave Neal in the cast grounds the story, even as its temporal machinations unfold. "Serena and the Ratts" may not be a blockbuster, but its intriguing premise and dedication to its core concept make it a noteworthy watch for those seeking a different kind of espionage tale.
