3.0*/5.0*

A pretty cool revenge flick. At first, I feared this would end up a US take on the Giallo, but Ferrara makes it more Day of the Woman set in a bustling metropolis (and without the outright exploitation elements). It makes for a pretty stylish film, but also one that lacks just a little bit to truly set itself apart.

Lünd is great in the lead, Ferrera gives the film the necessary flair and the short runtime keeps it from getting stale and/or boring. I wasn't a big fan of the soundtrack and the setup of the film is pretty basic, but nothing that kept me from enjoying it while it lasted. A very interesting discovery.
