“You betrayed me. You will die in that room tonight.”
It’s been a while since I’ve given a film a half star rating because I usually find some positive thing to say, but Joe Lynch’s latest movie has broken the streak. I didn’t find one redeemable quality in Everly and it’s going to be very hard for me to find another film that I could despise as much as this one. The violence in this film is disturbing and gratuitous. The screenplay, which I’m surprised to hear was in the 2010 Blacklist for most liked unmade script, is insane. The story centers on Salma Hayek’s character, Everly, who from the opening scene of the movie is facing off gangsters and…

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!

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.

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

"A sanctuary sometimes resides in the eye of the storm."
Everly (Salma Hayek) is being held prisoner as a sex slave by a nasty Japanese crime boss. She must fight her way through his enforcers and out of her apartment building to save herself and her family.
Everly is a stylish, but highly implausible, action thriller bloodbath. It almost reaches cartoonish levels at times. Someone's obviously been studying the works of Tarantino. That's fine by me, this was a wild ride, and I enjoyed it. I guess I prefer my violence to be over-the-top and less realistic.
Salma Hayek kicks so much ass I thought she'd break her foot off! This was a great showcase for her. She's in every…

Everly seems to be either a “burn it with fire” movie or a “that was pretty entertaining” movie, going by the ratings here. I ended up in the latter camp: that was some highly-entertaining and trashy action-exploitation havoc!
Joe Lynch outrageously escalates the single-apartment single-night mayhem until we’re in dark comedy territory by the clean-up montage and in pulpy grindhouse nonsense by the time Sadist Squad arrives. A damn strong case for Salma Hayek, action star; she should be kicking ass alongside John Wick. Elevator death-trap, playing fetch, big sais and bigger shotguns, sixth-floor war zone, a few gallons of the red stuff: Everly is undoubtedly rough, messy, and questionable in the story department, but Salma radiating zero-fucks charisma while slaughtering waves of increasingly OTT killers is a good time.

What started out as a promising exploitation actioner, soon dissolved into goofy and absurd nonsense. Some decent moments and the reliance on practical gore keep this watchable. Salma Hayek is pretty great with all the physical stuff, plus she looks fantastic. Could’ve been a lot better but could’ve been a whole hell of a lot worse. Decent stuff.

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.
-
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.

The screen is black, incomprehensible screams are heard. The blackness fades and we see a visibly shaken, nude Salma Hayek enter a bathroom with a black and white checkered floor. Everly (Salma Hayek) stumbles to retrieve a gun from behind the toilet. Everly, still physically shaken holds the gun to her head with the barrel covered by her black mane. A short moment later a gunshot is heard and we see Everly victoriously walk out of the bathroom and a man shot dead in her apartment. This is the first few moments of EVERLY.
I really love this movie. It plays out like a video game, random assasisns from all walks of life come to kill Everly. Do they succeed?…
