Held against her will for years by a sadistic Yakuza boss, the seductively dangerous Everly finally gets a chance to break free from slavery. Armed with an almost inexhaustible arsenal of destructive weaponry and a rabid will to survive, the wronged woman can now turn the tables on her evil tormentors, as a lucrative open contact on Everly's head attracts an endless wave of cutthroats. However, with the lives of her estranged mother and her little daughter under threat, only a miracle can get Everly out of a tight spot. Can she single-handedly ward off a merciless onslaught of assassins to save her family?

Goofs

Everly stabs Taiko with a katana : on the side view, we see the blade out at the center of his back (from up to down). On the back view, the blade is exactly in the heart. Also, when she's cutting him in half, it's the right part of the body, despite the fact the blade was in his heart.

User Reviews

Ridiculous, senseless violence

I some how made it to the end of the movie, maybe because I had some curiosity to see how it would finally end? Thank God it did end. So if you like movies with loads of bloody and violent senseless action scenes, then you're in luck, this is the movie for you. For me it was just non stop pointless extreme and senseless violence and then to top it all off, a very poor story line. I really can't understand why they even bother making movies like this. With a few changes I think that it could be greatly improved. But that's me. I am sure this movie will appeal to some people. I am a fan of Salma Hayek so I hope she gets the chance to be in a much better movie in the future.
