The story – which finds two expert thieves and longtime BFFs recruiting a third member of their team to assist in the fabled “one last job” – sounds derivative and formulaic, but the trailer looks decent enough. Free from the shackles of Stateside excesses that often yield over-indulgence and under-performance, Wingwomen might be one well worth keeping an eye on as it edges closer to releasing on Nov. 1.
