Everly Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
October 22, 2024
My 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.

If the film does anything right, it reminds us that now-48-year-old Hayek is one heck of a forceful presence when she is allowed to be.
AV Club
Vadim Rizov
There's the pervasive feeling that this is a prefab cult film that doesn't need to try too hard, instead offering cosmetic variations from a very limited playbook of gestures meant to provoke Pavlovian cries of "Awesome!"
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
What on earth is Salma Hayek doing starring in this exploitative, junky piece of torture trash?
Observer
Rex Reed
A smorgasbord of pornography masquerading as violence, Everly is so repugnant and pointless there were times when I wanted to call for help.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The film's brutality - which includes not only the murder of a dog but also a fetishization of torture that borders on porn - is so excessive, even if tongue-in-cheek, that it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Why, Salma Hayek? Why?
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Everly has the heaving, bloody bosoms of an exploitation flick, yet Hayek gives the character powerful dignity. She's no victim, nor an off-the-shelf "strong woman."
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Nothing more than a pointless exercise in brutal, nasty style.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Yet another boring ode to heavy breathing that's offered under the hypocritical pretense of celebrating female empowerment.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
There isn't much music to be made by mashing the same couple of notes, and the lack of variation gets to be a grind.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Feels precision-engineered for a morally torn fanboy who likes the idea of female empowerment but needs it served with a heavy dose of torture porn and glistening flesh.
Variety
Justin Chang
Salma Hayek plays a sex slave turned killer in this stylish but lumbering actioner.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
[Director Joe Lynch] stages the action cleanly and kinetically. And Hayek delivers a fully committed performance, handling the role's intense physical demands with commanding authority.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
It's so ridiculous and thinly sketched that any emotional investment seems impossible, despite a scrappy performance from Salma Hayek.
Consequence
Blake Goble
Everly seems to wanna be a badass, but winds up a dumb ass.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
An intermittently entertaining, ultimately disposable piece of genre fluff.
Movie Mezzanine
Andy Crump
Everly wears its inspirations on its bullet-riddled sleeve.
CraveOnline
William Bibbiani
A full throttle action extravaganza that knows how to grab you, and how to shake you around once you're in its capable mitts.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Hayek begins in a mini-nightie and ends in a tight T-shirt that inevitably is wetted down when a fireball sets off the sprinkler system. The wardrobe designer may have been your 14-year-old nephew, but the Hayek-endorsed message is: 'I look great at 48.'
