I’ll watch Salma Hayek in just about anything (I do,
however, draw the line at the Grown Ups movies), but if you
throw her into a Die Hard style actioner and hand her a big
ass gun, like in this trailer for Everly, I’m 100% in.
Hayek plays the title character, a call girl named, oddly
enough, Everly, who turns against her big-time gangster boss, Taiko (Hiroyuki
Watanabe), and becomes a snitch for the cops. He, of course, doesn’t take
kindly to this turn of events and sends an endless stream of killers, thugs,
and goons after her, and she has to fight to stay alive. As you can see in this
trailer, that involves killing a shit ton of these guys in the limited confines
of her apartment.
Everly looks grim, dark, and violent,
with a nice side of gallows humor thrown in for good measure. While we don’t
expect it to match the glorious highs of Die Hard (what
does?) this Joe Lynch-directed (Knights of Badassdom) joint
might prove to be an entertaining distraction when it drops on VOD on January
23 and theaters on February 27. Seriously, she throws a grenade into an
elevator, how can that not make you smile?
