    its hardly an elaborate plan.....this simply a basic plot envolving milla setting up her violent boyfriend in a murder so she can escape his brutal beatings and her old lifstyle.its ok,the cast is good but the story is very basic and nothing new.i love milla,she's very cute and v...( read more)ery sexy..thats the best bit haha the rest is run of the mill.macfadyen is quite good but alittle hammy as the violent big al.
    nothing really exciting happens here..very average.

    Usually I like these kinda movies and I just adore Milla, she's my girl crush. But this movie was really bad, I tried really hard to get into it but it was dragging...just plain ole strange. I loved Milla nonetheless...but it was a waste of my time.

    The acting in this movie was awesome. It was disturbingly realistic and dark, but I enjoyed it.

    Starring: Milla Jovovich, Angus Macfadyen, Stephen Dorff, Aisha Tyler, Sarah Strange.

    Not released on DVD here quite yet, but working in a video store, I got my hands on a copy of this. I read the synopsis and thought it coul...( read more)d be another direct-to-video surprise (like I have had recently) about obsession, deceit and abuse....but I didn't expect this.

    The story follows Kate and her boyfriend Big Al who sell guns on the streets of New York. He the demanding, overpowering one of the two and believes he is big time, but Kate is the smarter one. When Al believes Kate deceives him, he beats her to a pulp and this leads to a tale of sex and manipulation while trying to execute a plan of revenge. Again, the only reason I saw this was because of a good streak I have had recently with direct-to-DVD films and I was hoping this will be the continuation, but its the drop back. I really had hoped for a deep handle on some of these themes, with a gritty and exciting way of executing them, but I got the opposite. Instead, you get a group of shallow people with no self respect or control and the themes are terribly heavy handed and formulaic, with a twist that was easy to see coming before the hood came down (you'll see). The acting I felt was a little 50/50, Milla Jovovich has her moments and does prove that she has the potential to act, but too many over the top and annoying moments ruin it here. Angus Macfadyen deserved more of a character because he does hold the intensity and the supporting performances from Stephen Dorff and Sarah Strange surprised me....aside from Aisha Tyler, who lacked soul and believability.

    I can't recommend it, I was hoping for another great direct-to-DVD movie in a streak of them for me recently but I got the opposite. Heavy handed, formulaic, shallow and pure exploitation when it could have been more deep. Disappointing.

    Terrible! I was expecting something more along the lines of Ultra Violet, and got this lack-of-action, anti-love story. Angus Macfadyen is just not believeable as a sewer-mouthed, big city thug; and Milla can't seem to keep her clothes on long enough to establish wheter her chara...( read more)cter is a devoted battered girlfriend, or conniving criminal mastermind. If you want to see Milla in a good action movie, get The Fifth Element; if you just want to see her naked, get this.

    Poor Milla..Why did she ever agree on playing such predictable&cheesy plot..The kinda plot that really suits the small screen better..Her acting is the only one thats 'not bad' in this movie..
