A mysterious woman is found naked inside a duffel bag on Times Square covered in intricate tattoos, having lost the memories of her past following a drug-induced amnesia. She knows not her own identity and the tattoos are fresh; not older than a couple of weeks. Among the tattoos in large letters is the name of an FBI Special Agent who does not know her. As the FBI begins to study the tattoos on her body, they discover that each contains a clue to a crime they will have to solve.
Thumbs Up
It is fast-paced leaving you curious at the close of each episode and is dosed with just the right amount of action. The series boasts of a strong cast who have featured in a number of diverse movie genres such as Thor and 300: Rise of an Empire. It helps that they have chemistry given that the story line is predictable. And when was the last time you felt both sympathy and intrigue in an action movie?
Thumbs Down
The film feels like a case of same script different cast if you consider “The Mentalist” and “The Blacklist” for instance; cases to pursue based on clues in this case the tattoos with the backstory of the mysterious woman trickling out with time. In the beginning one feels the overbearing need of the movie to depict how beautiful Jane Doe is therefore making sexiness look weird.
Verdict
It is sure to leave its mark.
