I just finished watching Sicario and was happy to see a movie where a woman doesn't get to magically mary sue her way through the story.
Anyone got any recommendations for movies where women don't get an IWIN button?
True Romance (1993)
The absolute best.
Other notable mentions include:
What's Love Got To Do With It (1993)
The Killer Inside Me (2010)
Bastard Out of Carolina (1997)
Special mention goes to Frayed (2007)
Damn, I almost forgot.
Killer Joe (2011). You will NEVER look at fried chicken the same way.
Thanks for the recommendations, anon's. Added them to my queue.
I feel like the bond movies tend to portray it as well. Mostly death by association.
Anytime a movie has a woman doing the "I win, because i'm a woman" trope, I feel like it just shits on the quality of the movie and degrades women.

Warning: some of those I've listed are extreme in their brutality. Definitely no "I win" button, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Oh baby
I'd recommend Mud even though it's less 'women getting BTFO' and more along the lines of 'women/girls are shown to be the horrible monsters they can be and the shitty effect it has on the men/boys in their lives'.

Bastard Out Of Carolina? The neglectful mom drove off with the pedo boyfriend didn't she?

Didn't dolly like shot everybody at end? I mean that's not winning but coming out of nowhere and getting the upper hand isn't losing to.
Ichi the Killer has women getting BTFO
