Review of Everly

Everly (2014)
3/10
Good vision Bad execution
27 February 2015
This movie started with me oohing and ahhhing over Salma Hayek's body change that at first, I did not concentrate on the first few scenes of the movie itself. The first minutes of the movie had some humor to it that I liked but as the movie went on, my smile diminished into a scowl. First, she took down a couple of armed guys like flash in DC Universe, then she killed a pack of raging prostitutes. I had so many questions that I felt would be answered at the end: how did she become such a skillful shooter and fighter, how did she have so much money and guns ( maybe she stole them), why didn't she TRY to help the Chinese guy on the chair even after he helped her (even if the wound was fatal, she could have tried to help just like she tried to help a bleeding Dena), why was Taiko wasting so much time talking when he could have struck her, when did her mom get the skill to shoot the sadist's guys which by the way I thought would remove their masks so that we could see the work of the sadist (I could go on and on). I'll say something though, the killings were quite cool but I wish they were a little bit realistic, many action packed and bloody movies are realistic, not in every way but in many ways.
