Nothing that happens makes any sense, and a good deal of it is not possible according to the laws of physics.
Suddenly a brainwashed girl decides to stop taking her daily vitamins...because, reasons...then she convinces her ultra-conformist friend-turned-enemy to also stop taking her vitamins by the very convincing ploy of ... telling her to. This random decision turns out to be extremely clever in retrospect because it reveals all the secrets. And it's all downhill from there.
Some other things happen because of reasons, but our intrepid heroes are determined and therefore cannot be stopped by the laws of physics or logic.
A small teen girl needs to take the hinges off a large, locked, steel security door using only a plastic key card? Okay, no problem.
She needs to beat up and knock out a beefy security guard who is three times her size? Okay, no problem.
She needs to convince someone who doesn't trust her to believe an unbelievable story that contradicts everything they've ever known? Okay, no problem.
And the liberties they take with medicine - don't even get me started. And that ending..."watch me make all our problems go away with this one simple trick that makes doctors furious!" Boom, bang, a bit of movie magic and all is ... resolved? Or something?
Ugh.
Two stars because some of the acting was kind of okay. But I almost wish it had been worse because then it might have been amusing instead of just eye-rollingly dull and ridiculous.
