Lou (2022)

A cranky loner with a single mother renting a house on her property is quietly planning her suicide. She's yanked from those plans when the tenant's daughter is kidnapped by the highly-skilled ex. Turns out cranky loner Lou has a few more skills than she let on, too.

There's nothing really wrong with this movie, but it feels made-on-the-cheap. Allison Janney makes a surprisingly convincing action hero, which is cool, but Smollett delivers all of her lines with her typical woodenness and the kid has no future in acting.
