"Nobody does revenge like a woman."
Kate and her brutish boyfriend Big Al sell handguns on the streets of New York. She's smart, stylish, and self-confident, but all that leaves her when Al, in a jealous and self-indulgent rage, beats her. Three friends encourage her recovery: Vic, a woman who would like to be Kate's lover; Reilly, who runs with Al but also is attracted to Kate and repulsed by Al's violence; and, Liz, the counselor assigned to Kate from a battered-women's program. Vic and Reilly talk about killing Al, Liz gives pep talks; Kate remains frightened. Will Al's menace and Kate's dependency hold sway?

Rarely is something this elaborate, this mundane. Some laughs are present, and the story is just engaging enough to keep you the bare-minimum of invested, but mostly it seems like its just a platform for Milla Jovovich's nudity. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
