Naive and forgettable


This is very, very “direct to video”. Although not without its moments, it’s a perfect example of naive filmmaking by people who have very little to say, probably to cash in on the third-wave feminist types.
Three boorish straw misogynists create trouble for themselves in the desert when one of them rapes a young mistress, who is told to calm down and stop overreacting when she is upset by the ordeal. The lead pig (who, for double “men bad, wimminz good” points, is cheating on the wife and mother of his child) pushes little miss sex kitten off a cliff in an attempt to conceal the crime.

But watch out - she survives the murder attempt and quickly transforms into Action Barbie! With her wily powers, she heals the gaping wound in her stomach in double-quick time and also proves to be an expert marksman (sorry, markswoman) as she comes after her patriarchal oppressors, who are picked off one by one as their masculine rage consumes them.

It doesn’t commit the crime of being boring, at least not until the end, but you’ll forget it and its one-dimensional characters and plot shortly after viewing.
