Goofs

SPIOLER When Slim goes in to kill Michael she puts on big rings and bandages over her hands. Creating knuckle-dusters. When the police arrives she has taken them all off. Michaels wounds will not be consistent with her story, proving that she used a "weapon" in the fight and that it was premeditated. She will most likely be convicted for murder.

User Reviews

The power of a determined woman!

There have been many movies like this that have come before, but this one was more inspiring as I felt that the protagonist took more responsibility for herself by learning to fight and learning self defense. That is an extremely empowering aspect we don't always see, it's usually more about hiding.
