ThiefHott Too much of everything

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

alexandrepdo Can't understand why there's so much bad rating about this movie. This movie is perfect! There are some minor flaws, as others action movies have, but this... It's just perfect. It's like Desperado, like there's more money for Robert Rodriguez to do a better a better movie. If you don't care about perfectness, just watch it to have some fun with some crazy action movie, go and watch it.

sillypuzzle In my honest opinion I am being generous to give this movie a 4 rating. Salma Hayek worked hard to play this role but this isn't the kind of part that is best for her. Having said that, this movie is entertaining but the story isn't very believable. Akie Kotabe's part was absolutely miserable and he played it well but so could anyone for that matter. As far as character's go all these characters were shabby to say the least but I still enjoyed this flick. I advise anyone who wants to watch this movie to do so with an open mind and to do so without being too critical. You don't want to miss the last thirty minutes.

Andrew Lang I'd put this movie on the same list as things like, Smoking Aces or Shoot em Up. The effects really aren't too bad, some pretty decent gore effects and more than copious amounts of blood, but all the gun play was surprisingly well done. Throw in a few unexpectedly touching moments, some rather clever lines, and you have a rather enjoyable movie. As long as you don't expect any kind of real plot at least. The most impressive thing about the movie is that 95% of it is all done in the same room, and not many movies can pull that off without having it get boring, but this one did.As I said in the summary, it's a brainless bloodbath with a strong, sexy female lead. If you don't mind the gore and you just want something to watch, this one isn't a total waste of time.

Wizard-8 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.
