‘Tis the season for films about badass teen girls. With Spring Breakers, the Bling Ring and now, Violet & Daisy, we are seeing movies about fairly vapid, but “hot” girls who turn to crime for trivial reasons. They want a spring break vacay, they want to wear fashionable clothes, and now, with Violet & Daisy, it’s ” a pair of gum-cracking teenage assassins who casually snuff out crime figures in New York City, distracted only by the fact that a concert by their favorite pop idol Barbie Sunday has suddenly been canceled. Determined to raise cash for some Barbie Sunday dresses, the duo takes on a new hit job, only to discover a kind of reckoning in the form of sad-sack shut-in (James Gandolfini) who is dying alone of terminal cancer. He persuades the duo to kill him out of mercy, prompting an odyssey of self-examination that catapults the junior enforcers into a world beyond Barbie Sunday and bullets for pay.
So, um, yeah.
