About This Movie

So, 'Leverage' from 2023 is this quirky mix of action and comedy that really leans into the absurdity of the holiday season. You've got Jade Betts, who’s on a mission to take down the Russian mob at their own Christmas party. It’s all about the festive weapons—think Christmas lights as garrotes and candy canes as lethal projectiles. The pacing keeps you on your toes, shifting from laugh-out-loud moments to intense action sequences seamlessly. The chemistry between Jade and Richie is pretty charming, with their banter providing a nice contrast to the serious stakes. The practical effects add to that raw feel, and it’s a wild ride overall, balancing humor and chaos in a unique way that feels fresh amidst typical holiday fare.
