She is naive and goes home with them where a practical joke is played on Kim : a fake video depicting a nuclear explosion apocalypse and that everybody had just Two Weeks to live.

Reception

The Guardian considers that Williams "excels in her fish-out-of-water role, flitting between hapless and determined, worldly and childlike".[2] Two Weeks To Live lets Williams flex comedy muscles while also show off her stunt fighting and stunt skills. The NME described the action drama as also genuinely funny.[3]
