This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Good movie, i don't understand why the bad reviews. There are hellva lot of worse movies out there and with a wayyyy larger budget. People are so use to thugs being actual thugs. But these guys weren't thugs, they were just kids out being stupid. Then a real stupid accident happened and suddenly there was no turning back. They had one choice. And for those who can understand Kim's character? Then you haven't tired to understand a person living in a home with a verbally and physically abusive spouse. Think about how she never even spoke about her husband or her relationship when met an old girlfriend from her past.

Well I just finished watching the above film and was prompted to review it after so many negative reviews. I found it an interesting film and idea. The genre is a revenge kind of thing i suppose not unlike dirty weekend. The end is very similar to parts in this film and there is a lot of bad language and references to sex etc. However i didn't find it used violence gratuitously due to its genre. Kim Basinger looks really good in the film and considering she is 56? now I was surprised how fit she looked, better than her younger days if you ask me, and this is from a hetro female who grew up with her films in the 80's.. The film itself as i said is a revenge type film, it starts off with Christmas at Della's family home. She has a twin boy and girl and a bully husband who complains she doesn't clean up enough ( clearly doesn't realise marriage is supposed to be a partnership and it's no longer the 19th century!!) and said she has let her self go to pot physically!( has he SEEN what most housewives look like? he has been watching too much American Pie and Stiffler's mum, i think!) Anyway as the film goes on basically she goes to the mall to get last minute Xmas stuff and manages to antagonise a group of hooligans. It centres around that and although it's hard to believe it goes from then on and it gets quite tense til the end as you're worried about whether she will get home and the kids being at home and so on... wont totally give the game away but LOVED the ending retribution served. Just easy going revenge film id say. Nothing pretentious. quite tense and lots of fun...

Besides the fact that this movie was probably the most awful thing i've ever seen, we had the joy of watching Kim Bassinger, in the midst of being chased by ruthless gangsters with autism, squat down in the middle of a babbling brook and urinate... It was the most unnecessary scene I've ever seen in a movie in my life. The first thing I'd do after murdering a ruthless gangster would probably also squat down and take a pee. The movie is still on encore mystery as we speak, and I would like to know who got blown to have this movie even be on here right now. And I would also like to know why she fell for the old "i'll kill your daughters trick" to get her to talk so he could find her. This film is so awful that it hurts to keep watching it, but I can't stop watching it because it has to get better...

This movie is good for watching while folding the laundry or doing some other mind-numbing monotonous task.Other reviewers have pointed out lapses in logic which I won't repeat here ... except the part that really gets me is ... why does the barista/cashier write "Dela"'s name on the cup if she hands it right to her? Things like this drive me crazy. Though obviously this detail was pivotal to the plot line of DelLa becoming increasingly irritated to the point at which she becomes a raving homicidal maniac.I did enjoy the various dispatchings of the ethnically diverse gang members via the Magic Red Toolbox. Would've been better if they were even bloodier! And I kind of feel disgusted at myself for thinking that the quasi-sex scene at the end was HOTTTTTTTTT. Poor Chuckie! Ending scene was pretty rad though predictable. This movie probably should have stayed as a story, short and sweetly bloody.Among "bad" horror movies (which deserve their own rating system), I'd rate this a 4/10. Among all films ever made, bad-mediocre-good, I'd rate this a 2/10.
