Review of Everly (2015) by Grant S — 01 Dec 2015
Has its moments but mostly quite unoriginal and mediocre.
A woman, Everly (played by Salma Hayek), is attacked in her apartment by a gang of thugs. She manages to turn the tables on them but a crime boss is determined to make her pay for this, sending wave after wave of assassins. Soon she is not just fighting for her own life, but those of her mother and daughter too...
Well, that's what I could ascertain about the plot. It really is all over the place, plot-wise. The storyline, for what there is, seems quite contrived and nonsensical and is really just a device for a series of action scenes.
The action scenes aren't that bad, but ultimately it all seems predictable and unoriginal. Like a bad ripoff of a Tarantino movie, if Tarantino didn't believe in plot and character depth.
Salma Hayek must have been desperate to do this. Though, maybe on paper it seemed like a good movie...
This said, she is about the only reason to watch this movie.
