First great grindhouse motherfucker of the year. Salma is terrible but at the same time gives herself over to the role admirably. Salma has a price on her head and she shoots it out with Yakuza fuckers and high priced hookers. Joe Lynch's intense direction and energy is pure adrenaline. I think it's his best film to date. It's one of those one location action films that it's never boring and keeps surprising us as it heads down to a balls to the wall action finale. Some standout scenes involving an elevator and grotesque scenes of wild action with dark humor. For sonsofbitches lovers of genre shit only. Oh, and there's a nod to Riki-Oh!

I'm not usually into films that is just action from start to finish, but I had great fun with this, squish, bang, knife, splat. Loved the Christmas Carols over the initial carnage, ha!

Any movie that features Salma Hayek uttering the line "Tell him he can lick my balls" is a winner in my book.

Virtually plotless and set largely in a single room/apartment, Everly is a hardcore violent action film stripped down to its skeletal frame......which essentially equates to Salma Hayek versus an endless array of thugs, hoods, hitmen, torturers, gangsters and (soon to be) "dead whores".
Owing a massive debt to hard-hitting Asian cinema, this has the style and sadism of films like Oldboy and Ichi The Killer, with boundary-pushing brutality by the bloody bucketload. It can also be added to that expanding list of non-traditional, not exactly festive Christmas movies.

A post Tarantino/Rodriguez grindhouse camp effort that is slickly enjoyable for a late night watch. The little girl playing Salma's daughter was cute without being annoying or unconvincing. Hayek herself still has a fetching body and her curves should be considered lethal weapons. She might have managed a minor action career if she'd chosen to fully embrace that path twenty years ago.

Such a fun action flick. It's mainly contained to one apartment, but it keeps the action flowing with some nasty kills. It builds in some truly insane characters as it goes and it all adds to the over the top nature of the entire film. It can be funny at times, bloody as hell, and even emotional in places. It's a simple, entertaining premise and Joe Lynch knew how to have fun with it.

marginally less terrible than most Robert Rodriguez bullshit.

Salma Hayek plays Everly, a woman trapped in her own apartment while she is hunted by a horde of different assassins and armed people .. And that's about it! We are told why she is the target of so many but in a film with so much gun play, violent scenes and parts where it feels ripped from a video game none of it really matters! Don't watch such a film expecting too much of a plot .. Better to just turn your brain off and enjoy the body count.

Salma Hayek kills a whole lot of motherfuckers. Not as much fun as it sounds.

Okay this definitely going on my Christmas movies list. It’s pretty much non stop over the top action from start to finish, and I loved it.

Salma Hayek stars as Everly, a woman who has betrayed a Japanese mob boss and now must escape an onslaught of assassins and leave her apartment cell in order to provide money to her mother and daughter who need to go on the run. Pretty good pacing here and there's action throughout which is really enjoyable.

Also, Dead Man would be fun at parties.

I love where this goes, wish we saw more of the insane characters earlier in the flick, props to Joe Lynch

The scene where the dying Japanese business man sings Itsy-Bitsy Spider to the 6 year old was inspired.

Salma Hayek is amazing as always and carries this mess. Some directors could skillfully balance the various tones, from super dark to cartoony, but Joe Lynch is not that director. In theory this should be way more fun than in practice.

Not even my infatuation with Salma Hayek could save this one. Salma Beautiful, Movie bad.

salma hayek linda

Still a blast of Christmas carnage from Joe Lynch.

Uma ação da pega, mas nada muito diferente disso. Não é muito meu estilo de filme, mas achei mega interessante a escolha de elenco. Mesmo tendo muita coisa bizarra, quanto aos "vilões" mesmo, de certo modo pareciam até fases de jogo e não chega a ser ruim mesmo, só diferente.

Vale salientar que mesmo sendo um filme com ação quase o tempo todo eu ainda acabei dormindo mais para o final do filme, não me orgulho nem me arrependo.

Almeno ci si diverte,bisogna passare sopra a diverse stupidate e azioni poco credibili(le due che si sparano per la taglia,quello che insegue il cane che è andato a prendere la granata)ma nel complesso anche la protagonista "grigia" nei modi di fare funziona.Beh poi è Salma sputiamoci sopra.
