A young woman comes to in a roadside diner with no idea where she is or how she got there. Split between two timelines, she gets taken on a violent journey as she seeks out the person responsible for her lover's death.

That poster has "Kill Bill" written all over it, lol.

This sounds pretty good. And Katharine and Christopher! (love)

I just hope she's not a bad decision maker like she was in Torment or super over-the-top like she was in See No Evil 2 though. I've loved her in *almost* everything else she's been in though.

It isn't great, but it's weird and frantic enough to be really entertaining. The story isn't anything that hasn't been done before, but it is put together really well. I liked the surreal touches a lot, which I think were a nice touch for a movie with this structure.

Katherine Isabelle is definitely the best part. She's pretty much playing two different characters. She spends part of the movie in over-the-top mode, but I think it works a lot better here than in See No Evil, since it's only in small doses. The rest of the cast was really great. Chirstopher Lloyd was perfect for his role, but I also really loved Tim Doiron's character.

It's small. She has some lines, but she's only in like two scenes.

Saw this the other night with Robby and we both liked it so much that it totally overshadowed everything else we watched that night (even Survivor!!!). Katharine's character was a breath of fresh air and annoyed me less than she did in Torment and See No Evil 2. In fact, she was not annoying AT ALL! I loved her badass self here and while some of her decisions were odd or downright stupid
Spoiler: click to toggle
I was with her the whole time and wanted a solid, 'happy ending' for her since the girl went through a ton of crazy shit.

In some ways, this is like a blend of Kill Bill and Memento and since I love both (three if you see KB as two films like I do) films, I really appreciated this. The performances were good all around. No one was really cheesy or unbelievable though some people (especially Ty) were a bit too enthusiastic and hyper about what was happening. Still, Ty was super adorable and he and Gwen made a GREAT team. I wanted more of those two together<3. I assume he was coked up the whole time; that's the only reasonable explanation for his odd behavior. :P

It was really cool seeing Christopher Lloyd as the primary villain here. This had a surprisingly high bodycount and the deaths were mostly good-to-great even though they were almost all just gunshots.

This had just enough quirkiness to maintain a fun feel to it all. Special shoutout to the "Lemmy Scene." I totally need a "Business/Leisure" or whatever clickable remote controlled sign for my own life. That part was fucking awesome.

Some parts of this, like reviewers elsewhere have said, were pretty Tarantino-esque but this NEVER felt like it was trying to be a Tarantino film. It was its own thing from start to finish even though it wore its inspirations on its sleeve. It didn't rip anything off and it didn't feel like a direct copy of anything.

For the most part, this was really fun and enjoyable even though I saw the ending 'twist' coming from a mile away. That still benefitted the story though so no real complaints there. *shrug* Definitely check this out if you're a Katharine fan<3. She's great here!


6.5/10 quality, 7.5-8/10 entertainment.

The grocery store/gas station scene is awesome. I so want to re-enact that now with hidden cameras! (lol) "I don't think you're supposed to do that here..."

About 20 minutes left, and I like it. I've lost count on how many people have been shot (lol)
