Samantha (Angie Everhart) has a bright career ahead of her until her boyfriend tricks her into helping him with a burglary that turns to murder. Sam takes the rap, and when she gets out of jail four years later, her life in tatters, she's looking for revenge. Turns out her boyfriend's joined the mob and there's a maverick cop (James Russo) who's going to force her to help him get the Big Boss. The dialog is lame and the plot is ludicrous in this direct-to-video distaff variation on Payback. It's the sort of movie in which Angie sneaks off and shoots a buncha bad guys, so the cop threatens to throw her in jail. She sneaks off again--bang, bang, bang--he threatens to throw her in jail again. This goes on three or four times. Former supermodel Everhart skulks and scowls her way through the picture, but even her greased-up hair and grunged-down outfit can't hide those glorious cheekbones. Eric Roberts phones in another one for the paycheck. Only Joe Penny, as a mid-level mobster, brings any life to the party. All that being said, the film works on its most fundamental level--as the story of a woman grimly seeking revenge because it's the only meaningful response to what life has dealt her. --Geof Miller

I confirm other positive reviews about this work...
The best moments are clearly those where Ms.Everhart is engaged in action shoots (I think that Angie should exploit more this kind of role than those ones played in psycho-thrillers like the most recent The Last Cry... le physique est avec elle... in every sense) yet I'd have liked the captivity part to be a little developed... 5/10 min would have been enough and not have compromised the budget (IMO).

ps: actually I must admit that the first reason for me to rent this movie has been the presence of Angie "Redhot" Everhart but I've not been disappointed... bear in mind that this is the first movie of her I've seen where she has been wearing her dresses... full time... and that's is a compliment by me.

An excellent movie, Angie Everhart was a Refreshing departure from the normal helpless female, a sharp intelligent lady with a lot of positive mental attitude, More of the same Please!!
Format:DVD
I have no idea what the positive reviews saw but it could not have been this movie. The script was stupid and the acting puerile. I have seen better in a high school production. I am glad I borrowed this movie instead of buying it.
