"CATCH YOU FUCKERS AT A BAD TIME?"

Promising trailer: EVERLY

http://youtu.be/gyChiG18Qxg

Looks like Salma Hayek doesn’t even have to go outside to be John Wick, the whole colorful hit-person community just shows up at her doorstep. The director on this one is Joe Lynch, who’s a friend of the internet whose WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END I only half liked, and whose last movie was the taken-away-from-him-and-disowned KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM. But I think this looks and sounds fun, and it apparently went over well at Fantastic Fest. IMDb doesn’t list who did the fights, but stunt coordinator Akihiro Noguchi is a long time Power Rangers stunt guy who choreographed COLD HARVEST and NINJA for Isaac Florentine.

It hits VOD January 23rd and theatrical (i.e. just the Sundance theater where I saw FALCON RISING) February 27th.

    People keep calling it “Salma Hayek’s Die Hard” but to me it looks more like “Salma Hayek’s The Raid minus the hand to hand combat”

    I watched this the other day on VOD and it is a great action film. It might be a little to cruel and sadistic in parts for my tastes, but not so much so that it subtracted from my enjoyment of the film. I will wait for Vern’s review to discuss it in more detail but I will say that the trailer is misleading. The trailer paints Everly (Hayak) as a skilled badass in the vein of the Bride from the KILL BILL films, but she is not a skilled warrior/assassin like Beatrix Kiddo. Everly is not a trained killer, she doesn’t have a special set of skills, but she is dangerous because of her toughness and her brutal determination to survive at any cost.

    Well, she’s not SUPPOSED to be a skilled badass, but in practice that’s exactly what she is, taking out dudes left and right with guns, grenades and anything she can get her hands on. Oh and with a bullet wound she gets in the first two minutes of the film and which never seems to bother her one tiny bit.

    I watched the film a couple weeks ago and don’t remember, do they ever go into what her background is before she got mixed up with Taiko? I’d like to think there was some ex-Federale thing they mentioned in the script but didn’t end up in the movie.
