Katniss and Tris are great female protagonists, but they're the only ones in their respective stories. ( The Hunger Games and Divergent are great, but they won't keep you up at night.) But it's that theme of sisterhood that really sets Monday apart from its peers. What Happened to Monday still has its own identity, though. Nicolette Cayman is eerily similar to Jeanine Matthews, the dictator who had a bone to pick with Tris in Divergent the sisters' fighting style has distinct Katniss Everdeen shades and, as I mentioned earlier, Rapace takes on seven. The message isn't exactly subtle-but it's powerful.Īnd the film's references to The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Orphan Black aren't subtle either. She quite literally betrayed her sisters, and the result was carnage. This entire blood bath began in the first place because one of the sisters-I won't tell you which-made a seedy deal with the government. It also shows what happens when they're adversaries. On some level, this movie shows what good can happen when women join forces. Granted, this isn't a fully victorious moment-one of the sisters, unfortunately, also dies-but it establishes the tone of the film. Right as you think it's all over, though, one of the physically astute sisters takes a shot at the head lunkhead, and a full-out brawl begins, ending in the death of all the men hired to kill them. The dudes laugh at the sisters and make some disparaging comments about them. In one particularly chilling scene, three men with scary guns lure five of the sisters out of hiding.
