This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

There are two really good things here. First, the facilitating idea, which is way more interesting than the stock revenge theme (as you get in a million other films from Conan to Colombiana). Contrary to other reviews here, it's entirely possible to get an injury like this and survive. Quite often happens in fact. Not surprisingly it can cause mental problems thereafter, not necessarily these particular mental problems, which I won't go into to avoid unnecessary spoilers, but trust me, there's nothing unbelievable about this aspect.Second really good thing: Zoe Bell. Yes she's not going to win a best actress Oscar, neither is she a poor actress. What's needed in a film like this is not Meryl Streep, but someone who looks like they can do the fighting/action stuff. Bell looks like she can because she actually can, and she does the acting bits in between just fine. Way more convincing in a part like this than skinny female stars like that other Zoe, Ms Saldana (again in Colombiana) and yes, more convincing than a lot of male actors who get called on to do this stuff.Other than that, the support acting is only OK, the dialogue is average to uninspired, and the film is very short, but the story's fine and the fights are well-staged. It's all-around competent enough and a lot more convincing and enjoyable than all-action movies (with both male and female leads) with far higher IMDb scores. Well worth a watch if you like this kind of thing.

A career assassin becomes haunted by one of her victims following a near fatal injury to her brain. Becoming a rogue assassin settling the score with her former mob employers, chaos and power struggles ensue.I watched this on Crackle as a series of 7 or so minute clips that add up to the feature. It sucks. While the female lead may have a hot bod, she's got a severe butter face that really distracts you from the show.Also it's filled with really bad driving music that is annoying as all hell.I must say, however that the very first episode is worth watching for the ending when she gets the giant (and I mean GIGANTIC) knife in her head. How she walked thru this with a straight face is beyond me.God this was such a bad show.

Zoe Bell will never be the action star that Angelina Jolie is, but that shouldn't keep you from watching her in action.She plays a mob hit-woman that has a change of heart after an on-the-job accident. She decides to get some justice for those she has wronged. I know, it sounds a little hokey, but no more that surviving a knife stuck in your skull.There are a lot of fights here. Of course, Bell is the star and should win, but, come on, win a straight fight against someone twice her size> Well, that's what you pay your money to see, so that's what you get.Will the Angel of Death return? They left the door open.

Ugh. This movie was pretty bad, but if you like B or grind-house-style movies then it might fit your taste. I don't mind the occasional B-flick, but grind-house/70's-era cheap pulp don't satisfy. The storyline of this movie was terrible and the acting was straight-up high school special! The way Eve carries out her hits is laughable and the fight choreography is wooden and contrived. Then there's the knife-scene... come on, really are you friggin kidding me?!?! Terrible and boring movie.Save yourself the time, get a different movie from the bargain-bin this will be in and save yourself the time/$5. Also, ignore the 10-star ratings, they must have some kind of invested interest in the film or are stuck back in the cheap cinematography days. Note to self... If all of Ed Brubaker's films are this bad, I need to remember to pass on any films bearing his name.
