Review of Sweet Karma (2009) by Michael V — 21 Nov 2011

On the surface it really does feel like it's nothing more then a cheap cover for an excuse to make a TnA flick. It's a nice modern take on the old style 70's revenge film. It's got a great energy, an engaging story, some bad-ass, albeit low-rent kill scenes, and yes, the performance from the first-time lead actress is a knock-out.

She owns the screen. Granted she plays the role without speaking a word. She is a mute. Whether or not that was a must because she can't act worth a damn or if it was intentional I do not know. But otherwise her face holds a lot of charm and conveys a lot with her expressions.

Without speaking a word you end up sympathizing and caring about her. At times the low budgetness of the film shines through but not enough to really hurt it. In the end it won't stand out but worth a look.
