About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wild, cartoonishly gory revenge ride with nonstop fights and absurd set pieces, similar in spirit to Versus; Not for you if extreme bloodshed, torture, or sleazy exploitation touches are dealbreakers.
Pros: nonstop splatter action; outrageous dark humor; inventive weapons mayhem | Cons: thin revenge story; cheap-looking effects; repetitive gore beats
