In one particularly gruesome scene a character’s skin melts away after his face is burned. These depict soldiers being smashed, shot, blown up and engulfed in flames after being dropped out of transport planes. While audiences only see Rita pulling the trigger, there is still something disturbing about her firing a gun at man with the same nonchalant attitude you’d shoot a video game character.Īlong with the training sessions, the recurring battle scenes are also violent. Unfortunately some of these repeated killings are played for laughs. Whenever Cage is injured during their practice sessions she simply shoots him to restart the day. However she thinks she has figured out a way to defeat the aliens and begins training Cage to hunt down the main source of the enemy’s power. She, just as Cage, once had the ability to reboot after being killed. Finally he stumbles upon Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), the military’s poster girl heroine who earned a reputation for slaughtering hundreds of the spider-like invaders. (Think of this as Groundhog Daywith big guns.) Luckily each time he learns to stay alive a little longer. The event throws him into a time loop where he wakes up at the same precise moment on the same day to live and die over and over and over again. Without so much as a lick of training, he is strapped into a heavy metal contraption and dropped into the middle of a Normandy Beach-like invasion.īefore being killed (for the first time), Cage is splattered with blood from one of the aliens. That all changes when he is shanghaied and sent to the front lines of a battle against an extra-terrestrial enemy.
