No real substantive conversations between women take place. They're all trying to catch male criminals, and men are in charge of their group.

I had not thought about it before but you are correct. The movie is filled with women and yet somehow they dont relate to each other very well. Most of the important conversations about the plot are between two men, or a man and a woman. Theres a few lines of dialog between two named women, but no real in depth discussions.
