Review:

Following on from the events of ‘Captain America: Civil War’, Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson) is on the run. As fans will know, before Natasha was an Avenger, she was one of the hundreds of young girls trained by the Red Room to be exceptional assassins. In order to join S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha made a deal to kill Dreykov, the man in charge. By blowing up his house, she destroyed him and the Red Room so no more innocent girls else would fall into his hands. Or so she thought…

Her sister has posted Red Dust - a new drug that Dreykov will stop at nothing to get his hands on – to one of Natasha’s safehouses. Unaware of what she possesses, Natasha has no idea that Dreykov has sent his strongest fighter to retrieve it, or the serious danger she is facing… To save herself, and her family, she must return to where it all started, and bring down the Red Room once and for all.

This film holds up to the Marvel standards for an entertaining thrill ride, with plenty of futuristic tech and some well-delivered one-liners. Well worth a watch!
