I don't know which is more unbelievable... little Jessica Alba throwing around grown men twice her size, or that chainsaw starting up on the first try.
Not too long ago, Elsa Pataky, Chris Hemsworth's wife, starred in an action flick called Interceptor. She looked convincing because not only did she do some of her stunts, she really worked out for the role and looked like someone that could kick your ass Alba looks like a thin model here. That kinda contributes to the believability (or lack of it in this case) of her being able to do the things she does. Skills may have no correlation with muscles, but when you do feats of strength, you still need them.
@@ChrisAlbertH47- convincing? Yeah, OK. No 140 lb woman on the face of the earth is throwing a 230 lb muscled up man throw a window. The POS movie (Interceptor) was so hysterically unbelievable that my wife and I were literally laughing out loud at times. My favorite part was at the end where she managed to climb up out of the water, scale up a 200 foot ladder (with only one good arm), defeat a guy twice her size, and stop the nukes, all in less than 3 minutes.

@@ChrisAlbertH47 -uhh, no woman was believable in that role which is my whole point. Netflix is pandering to the whole “girl power” campaign to attract some female viewers. Women are not a part of our Special Operations department in the United States military except in supporting roles. Unless a woman is at the 1% level of physical fitness, none of them could pass the standards in those respective schools. The United States Army Ranger school had to drastically lower their physical standards in order for 2 females to make it through their 10 week program. Leave that stuff to actual men and quit portraying it as if women could really actually be “ex Special Forces”. It simply isn’t realistic or true.
Came here to say this movie should actually credit Otep for the short story it's based on and give her royalties, settle out of court and do what's right. All the headlines mention her short story but never once did they say she was the overall storycrafter and that Mr Olson shafted her when shopping this to production companies
More like genetically engineered Latina assassin to brown skinned "white" girl ( Nancy McKenna, Beth Flowers, Maggie Price, Victoria Knox, Marissa Wilson, Morley Clarkson, Jane Bullard, Sydney Wells, Sam Lockwood).
@onidoremc9490 what's so funny? She can't do this but JLo can? Why don't you laugh at JLo for being in Mother? Why don't you laugh that JLo is going to be in Atlas as a data analyst?
@wadecanton4493 haha thats so cool. I miss those years so much. Music, films, tv, etc... Life before social media. It's hard to believe its been over 22 years. I always love finding someone who was class of 02. It's like a cherry on a perfect sundae
Maybe it's just me but the moment you try to pass off a realistic modern-day movie by showing a woman, armed with a knife, beating the hell out of hundreds of heavily armed men without any trouble whatsoever, the 'movie' instantly becomes a b-rated fictional fantasy flick.
Maybe it's just the bad writing. With a good writing a strong female lead is never a problem, try Jyn Erso in Rogue One, yes it's not exactly a "realistic modern day", and coming from a very big franchise, but Jyn shine when Rey cannot, all because of the writing
she actually looks healthier and more youthful than a majority of 21-29 year olds, she eats really healthy, exercises daily, and keeps hydrated. You can do lotions and plastic surgery but this type of beauty comes from what she's putting into her body.
OR you might have to rethink how well people with a healthy lifestyle, exercise and the money to do those things to a very high standard can look in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s. She's 43, which is not old at all. And as someone who was there when Dark Angel premiered, nah, she doesn't look like that anymore. Which is perfectly fine, she's still ridiculously gorgeous. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@JamesLebowskiahh agism. "I was there when she actually WAS 20 so she doesn't look like that anymore" Maybe it's been a lil too long since you've been around modern 20 year olds but she fits the group aesthetic easily
Why in the hell is there? We act like 40 years old because he’s making a state is like you should 40 years old now I’ll talk to me when somebody 60 and look still great because I seen that before too where some people are 60 years old I said woman that was 60 years old and she looks great. You wouldn’t believe she’s 60 years old I mean it’s possible I mean some people age you know as they don’t look their age some people look older than they are so you look young and they are you know, but the thing was celebrities people think they had work done every time they look you know good for the original like hold on some people just don’t look their age, but again is not really old for somebody to look old. I don’t know why like when you hit 40 you’re supposed to look you know older or some like that I mean how the age I’m at you don’t think I’m look younger for my age I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, but cause I know as you get older eventually your looks going to fade because eventually your looks to catch up to you, but again not everybody looks our age but again, what is not old at all I miss amazing people talk about what you like old or something I mean Jesus
After this movie Netflix should commission a Dark Angel reboot serie. There are legions of Jessica Alba out there and we can't wait to see her in action again
It would be pretty cool if this movie reignited interest in a Dark Angel continuation. Jessica has expressed interest in continuing Dark Angel in a previous interview from a few years ago. I’m sure most of the original cast would be willing to return as well.
Caption says "Directed By Mouly Surya" As an Indonesian myself, it's pretty cool to hear that one of the best Indonesian filmmakers is now doing a Hollywood movie with Jessica Alba. She previously directed "Marlina The Murderer in Four Acts" which is one of my favourite Indonesian movie of all time and this is her first movie since that movie came out in 2017 so it's been quite a while since the last time she directed a feature film
That is amazing, the action scenes here seemed well done. Sadly seems the film is just following American tropes, a tiny woman like Alba beating up full grown men. Nothing in this trailer seems to separate Surya from generic hollywood movies with strong female character.
@@deusexmachina9776 this is such a tired complaint. If you actually paid attention to the action, you would see she isn't exchanging blows and blocks with larger dudes.

@@Anamillio Makeup can make almost anyone look 20 years younger. I know a lot of women who are almost unrecognizable without their makeup on. What do you think it is that makes a woman's face look so beautiful? Take off a woman's makeup, cut her hair short like a boy, get her to put on some baggy clothes, and what do you have left?
Who knows. I bet these are the same people who also think cereal, milk bottles and forks are "racist". Everything and everyone is "racist" nowadays. I can't even be bothered to look into it anymore.
Huge Jessica Alba fan here, although her acting was pretty decent in this movie, however, the story line falls short as it was quite predictable. Could've been much better! 5/10
I remember her well when she was in The Dark Angel. She was kick-ass tough in that, too, but played a much gentler role in The Eye. A versatile actress.
I just watched it. It sucked. Jessica Alba should stick to selling baby diapers, not trying to be a badass. She is not fooling anyone (well, except for a couple of simps perhaps).
Lucky you, you didn’t suffer through the obligatory Netflix anti-white, anti-conservative jabs. And Alba, a white woman, pretending to be Latino is fine but anyone else doing it gets canceled?
The reason I don't have a Netflix (or Disney) subscription is because I'm sick of this woke crap. Diversity hires, girl bosses and political agendas. That's why I prefer Korean TV shows and movies nowadays.
Yes-she can handle any action sequence, and did so from day one. We all saw it! Then she went to films, and all she ever got were the flat parts of “beautiful love interest.” I hope she does more action hereon.
Im sorry but these movies with women taking on grown men in habd to hand combat are completely ridiculous and unbelievable. The average man would eat the punches of the most highly trained woman and not even flinch.
So the story is that the lead character is away from town. The character comes back because one of the family members was assassinated. There is always a bigger conspiracy than what meets the eye. The lead character then goes on rampage mode and gets the wild west Justice. And then she decides to stay back. Where have I seen this movie before???
a movie where a ninety pound woman beats up a hundred guys weighing two hundred pounds............................. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
at least Alba is in a good shape...not how they fukup Equalizer series, with that out of shape chubby actress..LMAO The opus is Gina Carano in movie Haywire, in that one make you believe that is possible for lady with high level training to beat the shit a man with average training
@@yuabd4177 what? Does it look like have to watch everything Netflix related I don’t wanna torture myself just becuz a few shows or movies might be good compared to their trash
ya know mrs alba is a cool person but u just wont buy her how a skinny woman is gonna beat up grown men the opening scene was dope though, but then this movie was way too slow paced
So a van is driving. She is shooting out the window. The vehicle behind has a pickup back and the man on the back has a huge gun firing like 50 cal bullets. Not one bullet hits the van with her in it. As the van somersaults from an rpm it slides along desert floor upside down on its corner of the roof. REALLY. Roof doesn't crush. Absolute poop in the first 4 minutes.
Replace Jessica Alba with Steven Seigil...for the win. (Note: Jessica could still be in the movie...as his granddaughter)...but leave most of the action scenes to Siegil.
Most movies nowadays feature a woman who beats many trained men, and at the same time, they portray her as capable of defeating everyone, including the police, while men are depicted as hesitant to act, can be so weak and overpowered by a woman. This has been a common theme in most movies since 2023 and in all movies in 2024.
She's a real treat to watch not many look good doing what Alba can do to name butt a few Gina Cerano, Summer Glau, Angela Mao, Michelle Yeoh, JeeJa Yanin, Olga Kurylenko
It's not unrealistic. It's letting you know what it will take to overthrow this gov. They've literally had access to the best human Intel and mechanical engineers as well as the best technology engineers to make sure we can't revolt. But keep thinking they're feeding us fantasy
I have zero issues with women being badasses action heroines, like some movies made before all this DEI trend, and Jessica Alba is one of those artist that I would watch a movie just cause they are there, but... I got disappointed by this movie. It's was more about the pacing, and some scenes that felt unnecessary or goofy.
In short: Jessica Alba smokes (weed) and drinks bottles of alcohol and is STILL in perfect condition to be a Special Forces commando who throws around adult men like they are nothing. Republicans/conservatives are painted as gun loving, racist criminals once again (and they are not even subtle about it), because Hollywood just cannot help themselves and always have to insert their political preferences in their movies, while demonizing the opposition. Tone Bell is the only ‘black’ actor in this movie and therefore the diversity hire, otherwise they would have never released this movie to the public, out of fear to be accused of “racism”. Such is the sad and ‘woke’ state Hollywood is in nowadays. I would recommend Korean cinema. Their TV shows and movies are actually good, because they concentrate on compelling stories, instead of diversity hires and being “politically correct”.
Just watched some of the movie and did not finish it. Lousy move and unbelievable. A skinny armed woman taking down a gorilla-size dude with the same training as hers with a punch. Total BS.
dang. seeing her like this again highlights how much her talents and training as a dancer/athlete have been wasted in hollywood, especially during all this john wickification of everyone and everything
I'm stuck on this... thought. So the MCU is bringing in the Xmen, we're getting a bunch of Wolverine stuff in the MCU next month. Alba as an older X-23. Dude.
I know a few Thai mma fighters who weight around that and they would destroy larger opponents,size is less of an advantage when you're trained and it's a street fight,big fighters are almost always slower and that's enough of a disadvantage for them against smaller opponents who can actually fig
@@kerronhackshaw3632 Okay, but there are a few differences here. One, we're also talking about gender differences. These actually exist, despite what they teach in some schools now. Two, being a commando also entails sometimes carrying heavy equipment. Larger people, in general, are better suited for this. There are badass women who can hold their own against many men... I can't see Jessica Alba being one of them.
well, maybe not 10/10 attempts, but if you twist the arm enough, sometimes the recipient of pain telegraphs himself more than the actual force exerted. but yea, mass would be a significant factor here
This anti-woke point is starting to get really annoying. Its fiction. 70+ Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone still beating up juiced up blokes in their prime; Effing fast and furious 500 out here driving cars through skyscrapers. Since when do action movies have to be believable?
@@kerronhackshaw3632 lulz.. I assume you did not do very well on basic physics. Consider two 100lb bags of rocks thrown at a 100 lb. girl - you seriously think she can use their "momentum" to fundamentally alter their trajectory? It is no different if a 200 lb. dude is flying at her.

@@vanavatareight5135 I wish you self love
@@vanavatareight5135you don't know any women without makeup lmfao and your sister and mother don't count
The Dark Angel Returns. Side Note: She is aging gracefully.
Can someone please explain why everybody on insta is calling her racist? I don’t have the time to watch the movie
This movie is Islamophobic. A movie about killing another race in their own homeland. Literally disgusting
@@ThatGilbertthat's fcked up
Who knows. I bet these are the same people who also think cereal, milk bottles and forks are "racist". Everything and everyone is "racist" nowadays. I can't even be bothered to look into it anymore.
Thank you Netflix for NOT casting JLo in this. Bravo Ms. Alba!
Has Jlo been casted in a lot of Netflix movies?
Because Alba is an executive producer of this film 😂
@@kye1589recently yea
JLo was great in the movie “Enough “so she does pretty darn well in action movies.
@@geishaadorno5866 YES SHE WAS AWESOME O! IN THAT MOVIE. SHE'S A GREAT TALENTED SINGER DANCER ACTRESS.
dark angel vibes
Huge Jessica Alba fan here, although her acting was pretty decent in this movie, however, the story line falls short as it was quite predictable. Could've been much better! 5/10
Oh this is gonna be so good. Jessica always crushes these more physically demanding roles. I'm glad to see her back in her element
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the lie detector says: thats a lie
80lbs Jessica is so convincing as a special forces commando 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not in this one
If you are a feminist yea i guess you would love this movie😂
Even the trailer welcome her back!
I remember her well when she was in The Dark Angel. She was kick-ass tough in that, too, but played a much gentler role in The Eye. A versatile actress.
Jessica is absolutely stunning 😍
I know the movie is going to be mid at best. but It's Jessica Alba, so you can't pass that up.
💯
Bingo
Hard pass.
Why would you know that?
I just watched it. It sucked.
Jessica Alba should stick to selling baby diapers, not trying to be a badass. She is not fooling anyone (well, except for a couple of simps perhaps).
Lasted ten minutes before I turned it off . It was really bad
Lucky you, you didn’t suffer through the obligatory Netflix anti-white, anti-conservative jabs.
And Alba, a white woman, pretending to be Latino is fine but anyone else doing it gets canceled?
Same here
Netflix, do a Dark Angel reboot with Jessica!!. She has great presence on screen with beauty and intelligence, real live wonder woman!😍
so good to see jessica alba back on screen, stunning as ever!
Can someone pls tells me if this movie is good? Worth to watch? Or you guys just gonna keep talking about how great Jessica Alba looks 👀
It’s shockingly bad
Don't watch it's really bad.
The movie is horrible. She is sad all the time because she misses her dad. The trailer basically shows the good parts of the movie. That's it.
The movie is trash...
Boring generic movie it’s bad
Jessica is back. Love her since Dark Angel.
As close to a Dark Angel return as we'll get
A Return would be great; Dark Angel Season 3 & 4 were actually finished in Novels about 20 years ago.
Dear Netflix, please stop this unbelievable woke nonsense. love 95% of people
👏👏👏👏
??? take your meds please what
@@Fishloops stop projecting...viewing stats don't lie
The reason I don't have a Netflix (or Disney) subscription is because I'm sick of this woke crap. Diversity hires, girl bosses and political agendas. That's why I prefer Korean TV shows and movies nowadays.
She was meant for these action roles since that Angel show… Albas such a great actress!
Dark Angel
@@keelychow4569 yes!! Sooo gooddd!
@@coorkieAlba is so convincing as a special forces commando 😂😂😂😂
The fight scenes were pretty bad, some parts were laughable. She’s like 120lbs and tossing 200lbs+ guys around like rag dolls
Yes-she can handle any action sequence, and did so from day one. We all saw it! Then she went to films, and all she ever got were the flat parts of “beautiful love interest.” I hope she does more action hereon.
Jessica Alba, f* yeah!
This movie was such a disappointment...and i was so excited for it
Jessica alba aged like a fine wine! I'm so glad she's back at it again!
its a Mexican thing
Happy to see dark angel back 😊
Hey Netflix, I don't know if you know this or not, but a 90 lb woman cannot throw people around like that. Bring male heroes back.
Bringing that "Dark Angel" Skills
and jessica alba become dark angel again!
Im sorry but these movies with women taking on grown men in habd to hand combat are completely ridiculous and unbelievable. The average man would eat the punches of the most highly trained woman and not even flinch.
Are you telling me tiny little Jessica Alba won't be convincing as a special forces commando 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@illyaedwards7188 Just like charlize theron knocking the living daylights out of a room full of commandos in the fast and the furious
@@eoinMB3949 Exactly, they might as well just have a 10 year old boy beat up a bunch of commandos
At least let women do in movies, why not !
What about superhero ( are not they ridiculous) they don’t even exist, it’s movies 🤷🏾♀️
JESSICA REALLY WORKED SOLID FOR THIS SHE LOOKS VERY DETERMINED GREAT CAN'T WAIT!
I'm sure tiny little Jessica will be very convincing as a special forces commando 🤣🤣🤣
@@illyaedwards7188 stop crying
Her fans might like this but its not very good. Even when trying to suspend disbelief, the fight scenes are completely ridiculous!
So the story is that the lead character is away from town. The character comes back because one of the family members was assassinated. There is always a bigger conspiracy than what meets the eye. The lead character then goes on rampage mode and gets the wild west Justice. And then she decides to stay back.
Where have I seen this movie before???
I always love it when Jessica Alba goes 'Badass'.
a movie where a ninety pound woman beats up a hundred guys weighing two hundred pounds............................. riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
at least Alba is in a good shape...not how they fukup Equalizer series, with that out of shape chubby actress..LMAO
The opus is Gina Carano in movie Haywire, in that one make you believe that is possible for lady with high level training to beat the shit a man with average training
listen much more unrealistic things have happened in action movies
It's a comedy
Is that Jessica Alba?! She's as beautiful as ever, holy molly!
Its nice to see Jessica Alba back in action!
She is coming back to what made her awesome in Dark Angel, action.
You had me at Jessica Alba
Amazing that Jessica is back in Hollywood
She’s done very well for herself stepping away from acting for a long while
Anxious to see how she does here
Jessica Alba still looks good to this day. She is the definition of real beauty.
Rolling my eyes at the fight scenes.
Looks decent... now where is Old Guard 2?!
This
Old what?
@@MrRobeStern64 blasphemy! 😂
@@yuabd4177 what? Does it look like have to watch everything Netflix related I don’t wanna torture myself just becuz a few shows or movies might be good compared to their trash
is still happening, dont worry
ya know mrs alba is a cool person but u just wont buy her how a skinny woman is gonna beat up grown men
the opening scene was dope though, but then this movie was way too slow paced
I’m here for badass Jessica Alba. It’s been too long, LFG!!!
00:26 Strong female protagonist and a white male criminal...
💯
Strong “Latina” special forces commando😂
The left runs Netflix
the wall hits hard.......so cringe.....was waiting for her to whip out a double-blade lightsaber.....lol
I Was So CraZy about Jessica in The Dark Angel Era. Man, She Was Just a Bonafide Cutie. 🤦🏾
Consider it watched!! JESSICA ALBA
Give Otep Credit!!
Nice to see her back on the screen!😮
I saw Jessica alba, I reacted instantly
Billionaire, good actor, mom, happily married, fit - she's got it all.
So a van is driving. She is shooting out the window. The vehicle behind has a pickup back and the man on the back has a huge gun firing like 50 cal bullets. Not one bullet hits the van with her in it. As the van somersaults from an rpm it slides along desert floor upside down on its corner of the roof. REALLY. Roof doesn't crush. Absolute poop in the first 4 minutes.
Replace Jessica Alba with Steven Seigil...for the win. (Note: Jessica could still be in the movie...as his granddaughter)...but leave most of the action scenes to Siegil.
LMAO. It would actually be more believable with Segeal as the ex Special Forces commando.
Seagal.
How hard is it for you people to write someone's name correct?
@@PdZ2012 Seagal isn't on spell check...and I really don't have time to search how to spell his name.
Quick Google search, @@rayharvey1330? Don't be lazy.
this will be great, Jessica Alba has always been a warrior goddess, loved her Dark Angel show
99.99999999% of females wouldn’t last one day of actual Special Forces training. This “girl boss” idiocy needs to be left to the men.
Most movies nowadays feature a woman who beats many trained men, and at the same time, they portray her as capable of defeating everyone, including the police, while men are depicted as hesitant to act, can be so weak and overpowered by a woman. This has been a common theme in most movies since 2023 and in all movies in 2024.
OMG!!!!! This is SAVAGE! Jessica Alba is back in an action film since Dark Angel!!!!!! I won't miss this show!
She's a real treat to watch not many look good doing what Alba can do to name butt a few Gina Cerano, Summer Glau, Angela Mao, Michelle Yeoh, JeeJa Yanin, Olga Kurylenko
This has got to be one of the worst movies of all time.
Why lol
@@malebomadisha Believe me, I wanted to like this movie, mostly because of Jessica Alba. The story is so nonsensical and unbelievable.
Jess is great and all, but kinda getting sick of seeing all of these "One Woman Army types" that can take on the entire world by themselves.
How many times can Hollywood make this unrealistic absurd movie?
It's not unrealistic. It's letting you know what it will take to overthrow this gov. They've literally had access to the best human Intel and mechanical engineers as well as the best technology engineers to make sure we can't revolt. But keep thinking they're feeding us fantasy
Everytime
Jessica Alba in action movies...chefs kiss
I was madly in love with this woman during my teens, (posters, magazine cut outs on my walls etc) She’s just as beautiful ❤.
I want a new Dark Angel series so freakin badly!
Can someone say something about the film ??.. and not Jessica Alba we know she fine
The movie is shit and the shills know it. That is why they all talk about Alba's looks lol
I have zero issues with women being badasses action heroines, like some movies made before all this DEI trend, and Jessica Alba is one of those artist that I would watch a movie just cause they are there, but... I got disappointed by this movie. It's was more about the pacing, and some scenes that felt unnecessary or goofy.
In short:
Jessica Alba smokes (weed) and drinks bottles of alcohol and is STILL in perfect condition to be a Special Forces commando who throws around adult men like they are nothing.
Republicans/conservatives are painted as gun loving, racist criminals once again (and they are not even subtle about it), because Hollywood just cannot help themselves and always have to insert their political preferences in their movies, while demonizing the opposition.
Tone Bell is the only ‘black’ actor in this movie and therefore the diversity hire, otherwise they would have never released this movie to the public, out of fear to be accused of “racism”. Such is the sad and ‘woke’ state Hollywood is in nowadays.
I would recommend Korean cinema. Their TV shows and movies are actually good, because they concentrate on compelling stories, instead of diversity hires and being “politically correct”.
Just watched some of the movie and did not finish it. Lousy move and unbelievable. A skinny armed woman taking down a gorilla-size dude with the same training as hers with a punch. Total BS.
😂😂
Would’ve been better if a men played this role
Yeah they’re just tryna force the girl power stereotype😂
@@WhaleBlueberry yeah fk that lol
@@WhaleBlueberryAre you telling me 80lbs Jessica won't be convincing as a special forces commando 🤣🤣🤣🤣
dang. seeing her like this again highlights how much her talents and training as a dancer/athlete have been wasted in hollywood, especially during all this john wickification of everyone and everything
I'm stuck on this... thought. So the MCU is bringing in the Xmen, we're getting a bunch of Wolverine stuff in the MCU next month.
Alba as an older X-23. Dude.
@@johnsimth6587 i never thought of it, but that would be awesome!
Doh, girl boss alert. I can only imagine the amount of full grown men Jessica Alba will overpower and bully into submission in this movie.
When the 120 lbs woman throws the 170 lbs guy like he weighs 25 lbs...
A Special Forces commando.... Okay....
@@MannyjvA 120lb chick becoming a special forces commando? Lmao.
I know a few Thai mma fighters who weight around that and they would destroy larger opponents,size is less of an advantage when you're trained and it's a street fight,big fighters are almost always slower and that's enough of a disadvantage for them against smaller opponents who can actually fig
@@kerronhackshaw3632 Okay, but there are a few differences here. One, we're also talking about gender differences. These actually exist, despite what they teach in some schools now. Two, being a commando also entails sometimes carrying heavy equipment. Larger people, in general, are better suited for this. There are badass women who can hold their own against many men... I can't see Jessica Alba being one of them.
Let the feminists have their fantasy😂
100 lb girl throwing 200 lb dudes - sounds about right - it is "leverage"
well, maybe not 10/10 attempts, but if you twist the arm enough, sometimes the recipient of pain telegraphs himself more than the actual force exerted. but yea, mass would be a significant factor here
This anti-woke point is starting to get really annoying. Its fiction. 70+ Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone still beating up juiced up blokes in their prime; Effing fast and furious 500 out here driving cars through skyscrapers. Since when do action movies have to be believable?
@@sanyang66
multiple things can be true simultaneously
A trained 100 pounder can send a 200 pounder flying if they use the opponent's momentum against them
@@kerronhackshaw3632 lulz.. I assume you did not do very well on basic physics. Consider two 100lb bags of rocks thrown at a 100 lb. girl - you seriously think she can use their "momentum" to fundamentally alter their trajectory?
It is no different if a 200 lb. dude is flying at her.
All I gotta say is, Cash Warren lucky af lol Jessica still has my heart 😍🤤
