Review:
This was a rather fun indie vigilante effort. Among the better elements here is the strong setup offering a fine chance to mix together its dueling storyline into a solid time overall. The main setup involves the series of murders taking place along the city streets of the lonely killer going around taking out random people in quick, ambush attacks where the initial attacks are what catches the attention of the investigating officers who have it mixed up with the vigilante killings taking place at the same time. With the truth revealed later on about her setting out to avenge the murder of her family at their hands which is what caused everything to start. The interactions with the other seedy characters in the city and how they all work together to bring these factors together rather nicely.
That leads into some rather fun moments here involving the quest from both sides to get to the bottom of the grisly slayings. With the detectives trying to solve not just the slasher case but also the vigilante closing in on the criminal gang running wild in the streets, the confrontations that arise here become quite a bit more frantic and intriguing as it goes along, featuring the series of shootouts with common thugs on the street, the confrontations in the park where she takes out the criminal gang’s henchmen, and the big battle with the thugs in the park where it serves as a great revenge tactic on what happened to her fulfilling these different storyline tactics even with all this action and shootouts present, there’s a wholly overwhelming sense of its low-budget limitations that are present here being the main drawbacks on display.
Overview: ****/5
A really solid genre mash-up that has a lot to like, there’s more than enough to like here that it comes off quite better than it should be compared to others in a similar style. Those who appreciate this particular style of indie film, are intrigued about it, or are fans of the creative crew will have the most to like here while most others out there should heed caution with this one.
