1. Solid and impressive performance from Blake Lively
According to director Collet-Serra, Blake possesses all the traits they needed to come through in Nancy: tough, smart, likable, and resourceful.
Not only that, she’s also very brave and did all the heavy stunts herself except for the surfing. Her past performances in films like All I See Is You and The Age of Adaline made her even more apt for the role because her character Nancy’s ordeals will require a lot from any actor.
