Keep repeating this phrase in your mind as you watch this……..”You Can’t Keep A Good Woman Down”
Right up front I need you to know that if you’ve seen the movies Kill Bill 1 & 2 this movie rivals the killing scenes of Kill Bill. I was NOT expecting this movie to turn out like it does!! This is just fair warning to the faint of heart.
Salma Hayek makes this movie as she is in every scene. I just never expected to see her in this kind of action movie but she pulls it off great!
Don’t let the critics and users ratings above put you off. I also recognize there are many people that just can't stand this kind of movie, but then again not every movie is meant to target the worldwide audience. Hayek plays her role well even thought there are holes in the plot (we’re not talking Oscar here!). Also If you are after a well constructed storyline you probably won’t be unhappy with this one.
However, if you are one that can overlook some flaws and love action movies……then grab the popcorn and get ready for an intense mamacita bloody action thriller.
p.s. be assured this movie was not made to be taken seriously………enjoy and Oh! watch to the very end!
