Entertaining, gritty, funny, violent action packed & gory. Really good film!Don't take it too seriously or think too much into it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, as it intends.

Everly (Salma Hayek) is a prostitute for the mob who was disobedient and gang raped (off screen). She then goes into a berserker mode with a gun she had left in the commode tank top. More people show up to confront her, but she has an arsenal at her disposal and resolve to live to save her mother and daughter.The action, which consisted of a lot of shooting, blood, and killing takes place in an apartment building so the scenery doesn't change.This is a low budget "Kill Bill" type of thing. We don't get to know the background to the on going killings until later in the story, and even then it wasn't much of a tale.Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Hayek- back nudity only. Blood squirts

If you like overly violent for the sake of being overly violent movies then you Will like this.But everything about it is silly. The plot, the acting, the so called action. It is all over the top nonsense.What puzzles me is why an intelligent and good actress like Salma Hayek wanted to do this movie in the first place? I now find it hard to say anything else but no doubt have to follow this incredibly silly ten line rule.Why doesn't IMDb end that stupidity. A short pithy review is always better in my humble opinion.

I was in my local video store (yes, there are still some around!) when the clerk rewarded my loyalty by giving me a free rental. My top picks were all out, and in desperation I picked up the Blu-ray of this movie. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, just the hope that the movie would quench a little of my thirst for B movie action.Well, I wasn't expecting this! "Everly" blew away my modest expectations by being a top grade action movie. It has an interesting set-up, that being that almost all of the movie takes place in one basic location (a penthouse suite and the outside hallway). That would hamper many filmmakers trying to avoid monotony, but these filmmakers managed to do so. The action is not just plentiful, but it is filled with variety, so it never gets dull. Another reason why the action doesn't get dull is that there are some breaks in the action here and there, breaks that do things like add new twists to the plot.Speaking of the plot, I will admit that the script has some things that are hard to swallow. Although the script has Salma Hayek's character losing the upper hand several times, it eventually becomes hard to believe that for the majority of the time this initially wimpy woman again and again defeats the bad guys coming in to kill her. Also, if she has access to a telephone, why doesn't she call the FBI or the media to tell them what's happening? (For that matter, why don't the building's neighbors notice all the noise coming from the explosions and fired guns?)But if you are willing to overlook script weaknesses such as those and simply want to be thrilled and rocked by action, suspense, and mayhem, the movie does deliver. It's too bad the movie got into the hands of the Weinstein brothers, since once again they had a potential blockbuster that they didn't give much of a theatrical release (if any, that is.) But I think that with DVD, cable, and Netflix, "Everly" will build a solid cult audience over the next few years.
