Aurora is a 10-year-old girl who lives in an apartment in Manhattan with her
foster parents. One night she discovers a monster under her bed. Her parents
don't believe her – parents never do – so she sleeps outside her
window on the fire escape to avoid the monster. The next day her parents are
eaten by the monster, leaving her alone. She's witnessed her neighbour (an
unnamed man played by Mads Mikkelsen) killing a dragon, so she asks him to
kill the monster. Unfortunately, she's misunderstood what she saw. He actually
killed a man wearing a dragon costume in Chinatown. The neighbour is a secret
agent at war with enemy agents. He doesn't believe in monsters, but he agrees
to help Aurora, even though it brings her into contact with the enemies
attacking him.
There are many things about the film that I don't like, but I'll just name one
problem: even though Aurora knows there's a monster under the bed, she returns
home to sleep in her bed every night. That's totally illogical.
I don't intend to buy the film, but I'll give it another chance when it's
available on streaming.
