Generally I love lesbian films but this is an exception. The premise sounds like it could be interesting but the execution is hugely disappointing. The acting seems amateurish, there's no real plot, and - worst of all - we get no insight at all into why these women seem to be able to murder men with absolutely no compunction or feeling.
Potentially the most interesting aspect of such a tale might be the exploration of why two women might be so angry at men that they make a career out of slaughtering them. Unfortunately, this movie completely ignores this opportunity. Instead, we see women who seem to have no feelings at all - positive or negative - about the men they kill; the men might as well be cardboard cutouts.
In good storytelling, there should be at least one character that we can root for, even identify with. But not here. In the first killing we see, the victim is a disgusting bigot, so it might be possible to feel a little bit of empathy for the women when they blow him away, but later there is another murder which is simply appalling.
I've always tried to keep an open mind about film makers working outside areas of their own experience but this movie is a really, really good argument for avoiding "lesbian" films made by men.
