10 Moments That Literally Stopped Action Movies
3. Enola Changes Her Plan - Enola Holmes
Time and time again throughout Millie Bobby Brown's first outing as the strong-willed and effortlessly charming titular Holmes, Enola can be found letting the viewers in on the action she regularly finds herself at the centre of.
And while many of these fourth-wall breaks are simply used as a way of giving you an honest glimpse into the mind of the youngster looking for her wandering mother, there was one rather specific instance of pulverising the fourth-wall that completely stopped the speeding train that was this Netflix action adventure and forced it to head in a new direction altogether.
As Enola sits in her room in the wake of throwing down with the despicable Linthorn midway through the film, the youngest Holmes soon realises that the young Tewkesbury she met earlier in her quest likely needed her help more than her dearest mother at that precise moment in time.
So, after recalling a story of how she almost died trying to save a sheep from falling off a cliff, Enola soon directly informs us that, with poor ol' Tewkesbury not having the strength to fight off a Linthorn who'd been trying to kill him all film, it was up to her to ensure he didn't fall off the cliff, so to speak.
And with that, Enola's plans to find her mother are stopped in their tracks, along with the movie's initial central mission, with the sister of Sherlock instead turning her attention to the Viscount for the remainder of the runtime.
