A femme fatale who will stop at nothing to avenge the one she loves. Cold, silent, and ruthless as she is. That's Karma (Shera Bechard), a mute Russian woman who has gotten the information about her sister. Shred travels to Toronto, Canada to infiltrate the underworld. That way she get the people responsible for her sister's death. During that night, she did her dance, and went to confront the sex trafficker by luring him in a bathroom, and she gives him some of the leftover laundry detergent as drugs. Boy, did he get a burn! Karma made a lot of kills, including the one who raped her. She does however, get some help from a policeman who is hot on their trails. He does not approve of Karma's actions, but when got put in a corner, he told her to do it! She does, however, there was a bit of a surprise for Karma. Her sister was all right! The real question is, "Who did the Russian mafia kill?" She cries when saw the cop slumped, but was relieved that he was all right. This movie puts "Ms. .45 " to shame. And it's one of the best femme fatale movies I have ever seen. I would definitely recommend this movie a lot. It has received a lot of awards, and it got a lot of approvals as well. It's a keeper. 5 stars!

The last few years have seen many an attempt at emulating the 'grindhouse' style of the 70s and early 80s, with the aid of retro graphics, editing and music, plus computerised filters applied during post production to give that cheap, grainy drive-in look and feel. Sweet Karma employs none of these fancy tricks, and yet it proves to be one of the more satisfying exploitation experiences in recent memory: the film-makers tell their cool revenge tale with the requisite levels of sex and violence, but without any of the artificiality or pretension that has spoilt many a similarly themed movie. For once, this feels like the real deal rather than an OTT tribute or parody.Playboy playmate Shera Bechard plays the titular character Karma, a beautiful mute Russian girl who goes looking for her sister Anna (Patricia Stasiak), who travelled to Canada in search of work only to find herself forced into Toronto's underground sex trade by ruthless criminals. Using both her brains and her scorching hot bod, Karma sets about dispatching the low-life thugs, sparking a gang war in the process, and it's not long before Toronto is knee deep in dead scumbags. This plot clearly owes a lot to classic exploitation films such as Ms.45 and They Call Her One Eye, but it still manages to carve its own identity, helped by some believable performances, well executed brutality, and a few unexpected plot turns, including a cool twist ending that genuinely caught me by surprise.

The Russian mob runs into a revenge seeking female, and all hell breaks loose. Shera Bechard is quite good playing a beautiful mute. The Russian enforcers, running a sex trade business in Canada, meet violent deaths at the hands of "Sweet Karma". The movie delivers exactly what it promises. Unfortunately the under lit scenes, shaky camera, criminal over use of the "F" word, and numerous flashbacks detract somewhat. Nevertheless, there is enough death and mayhem to push this updated revenge flick into above average territory. At 85 minutes things move along at a good enough pace, with some throbbing electronic music accompaniment. Not bad of it's type. - MERK

My assignment for class was to review one of the movies I saw during the film festival so I picked this one to review because it was my favourite.OK, I did not expect to see this movie at the fantasia film festival. It was not on my list of movies to see because I had not seen it advertised anywhere. I saw a poster for it when I was walking out of another movie and it happened to be the next movie playing in the room I was just walking out of so I went to buy tickets to see it. Some of the movies I saw during the film festival were more like art and not necessarily intended for everyone. They are more like people's experiments in making movies. Then there were movies that were meant to entertain in the classic way. This movie fit more in the latter category. And in that way it was really good. The story of a mute Russian girl who wants to avenge her sister's death in a Toronto prostitute ring is not necessarily ground breaking but it makes for a very entertaining movie. I checked out some of the actors in the movie on IMDb and they're movie experience is small. But it did not seem that way in the movie. They were really believable. Especially the Russian boss guy and his Russian underling. Plus the main actress who plays Karma is really hot and she was a lot of fun to watch. Especially when she is beating up on guys. The fight scenes were really well done. Most of the story was good but I don't know why that cop had to be there near the end. I think he was the only bad part about the movie because he really wasn't very good. The end of the movie had me very surprised too. I think that was a great way to finish it. If it plays at any other film festivals near you, you should definitely go see Sweet Karma.I am giving it 7 stars because of the cop guy who annoyed me. Otherwise this would get a 8.
