Feels like 7 is a low score for a movie starting my Mrs. but that's about what it was worth. It's definitely a gratuitously violent grindhouse style film. But it's also a bottle story that mostly takes place inside an apartment. While the eponymous Everly leaves a few times we don't and she always comes back.

There's something to be said that for a rape revenge movie this one has a light touch on the actual assault. Taking place after it. Even the tape of it isn't seen only heard. It could have gone another way and I'm glad it didn't. The violence isn't so much horrific or gruesome as it is squeamish but didn't really stray into so squeamish you get tempted to stop the film.

This a movie in service of it's revenge plot in every where. Things conspire and work towards keeping the revenge going. But the movie isn't serious enough that it feels cheap and forced at least not anymore cheap and forced than it's genre dictates. Heck the only thing that might feel missing her is gratuitous nudity and it doesn't feel like a missed opportunity because everything fits so nicely together. The weaponry is basic. Mostly handguns and a few small blades with a few exceptions but they don't create big set pieces for the most part.

It's was a good time. I'm glad I rewatched it. I don't know if I remembered how bloody it is but I made it through.
