- jackmeat22 octobre 2024My quick rating - 7,1/10. When the makers of this film started brainstorming, it had to sound like this: "I don't care about the plot, character development, realism, or Oscar nods. The goal will be simple, mass violence, non-stop unbelievable action, and a nice-looking heroine to dole out all the carnage." Well, Joe Lynch (story/director) and Yale Hannon (screenwriter) succeeded tenfold. The movie begins with a naked woman (Selma Hayek) crawling into a bathroom, clearly beaten up/abused. She makes it to the toilet where she retrieves a gun and a "burn" phone from the toilet tank. Well, now you see what you are in for. That is your lead-up to 90 minutes of constant action that merely slows down a minute or so here and there to explain why everyone is trying to kill her, some for the mob boss, some as hired hitmen, and all this takes place in her apartment. I would delve further into the plot, but there isn't one past Hayek is doing all in her power to live and get her daughter and mother to safety so they can start a new life while Hayek has accepted her fate. Hayek as the heroine does a believable job of kicking ass but is not being portrayed as some superhero, just a woman that has been pushed to limits. There are a couple of underdeveloped subplots, but not worth worrying about. A couple of characters you may take to, one being the little girl, of course, and the other being a hit-man who is shot in the opening sequence but doesn't die and actually helps Hayek a bit. But we aren't here for that, just action, blood, and each wave of attackers being more bizarre than the last. No one involved made this movie to be taken seriously, so don't expect it to be, just enjoy it for what it is. Oh, and don't welcome the Sadist and the Masochist into your home. You will know why after watching. Enjoy, I know I did.
