My non-spoiler review after watching it on Spike TV last night!


I had no idea who Zoe Bell was until this film came on. I was going to switch channels, but it was early in the morning and the only stuff else to watch was the news so I gave it a chance and this movie had me gripped from start to finish. It was interesting to watch. I would say its a more realistic version of Kill Bill (minus Eve's major wound at the start). Just as gritty and violent minus the samurai swords, the bathroom fight is easily my favorite scene. Zoe Bell's character pulls no punches during her quest to redeem herself after an assassination goes wrong.

Ted Raimi (Joxer) and Lucy Lawless (Xena) are in this film, but unfortunately both have little screentime. If I were them, I wouldn't have bothered getting either role. Thankfully, Doug Jones (Abe from Hellboy, The Silver Surfer) has a good amount. A few funny lines and some clever twists also benefit this revenge flick. It leaves an open ending so you can defenitely expect a sequel should it garner more fans, it left me wanting more. I will definitely purchase the DVD and I can only hope Zoe Bell will become this generation's Cynthia Rothrock.
