Review of Everly

Everly (2014)
7/10
This is a good popcorn movie

Warning: Spoilers
Fade in and you will see a different perspective as the camera is filming from the top of a room and you see a naked figure stumble into the room. What happened? You hear other voices coming from the other room and Everly seems prepared for something as she fish out a pistol from the toilet tank. And so it begins, the carnage. In this shoot 'em up film, you get just that. It doesn't pretend to be a literal piece but pure action. The gore factor is relative to whatever taste you may have, I didn't find it too gory but justified in the manner of which the person is taken out. What I found interesting is the fact that the scenes were staged in an apartment.

Of course the premise of someone being held against her will is a plausible scenario as this has happened in real life. So, if you can buy the premise, you can buy the bit. Also, the character does not escape without sustaining so spectacular injuries. And with the caged scene, I already had surmised who would come to her rescue. And the masochist was a ridicules bit of stretching, that was my only negative to this bit of escapism, otherwise, just enjoy the ride for what its worth.
