Everly



All you have to do is look at this poster and see Salma with a machine gun.  SOLD.    Director Joe Lynch (The very awesome Wrong Turn 2) himself calls this Die Hard in a room and I could not agree more.  Salma Hayek plays Everly, a woman beaten in her own apartment by a bunch of thugs.  When Everly gets a minute she manages to get herself together and decides it’s time to take of care of business and kick some ass.  She clears the apartment of said thugs with a lot of gunfire and then battens down the hatches in the apartment because she knows more thugs will be on the way.  

It turns out Everly’s ex is the one that sent these guys and he also happens to be the local mob boss.  Everly has a well-stocked kitchen of arms and is able to fend off the first assault wave quite nicely.   As Everly gets some of this bloody mess cleaned up her mother and young daughter decide to pay a visit to her apartment and complicate matters a little more.  Finally, the big, bad mob boss shows up himself with more men and heads up to Everly’s apartment.  Will Everly survive?  What will she do with her Mom and daughter?  Give it a spin to find out.  This is a very good action movie that basically takes place in the one apartment and that makes it a lot of fun being contained in this one location.
