Everly 2014/2015 by AverageMansReviews
Review Time: this film is average to good, but then again I
should just point out this film is visual [as it relates to its death/torture
sequences.]
Subtitles: to be honest I couldn't stand them, because they
are white in their text colour and depending what is happening on screen is
depending if you can concentrate on them long enough to read them or depending
what colours are underneath them is depending how easy they are to read,
because I have openly said I am not a strong reader including I have reading
difficulties anyway but I can read subtitles if they are designed to stand out
[like a black box around them or black outlines or just something to make them
separate from the scene they are part of.] But as it relates to this project I
gave up after some time reading them because I couldn't concentrate on both
[subtitles and the actual film.]
Salma Hayek: this performer makes this film work, her character
developments as [Everly] are strong, as this person has been through so much [I
cannot tell you too much, because bits and pieces get discussed throughout this
project,] but what I can tell you is this; this person wants out of this
situation she is in and as long as members of her family are safe she will face
the consequences head-on.
Action sequences: I am going to say this one more time,
these sequences are somewhat visual I found them absolutely fine [that is
because I don't mind these kinds of things,] but on the other hand if you don't
have a strong stomach you may want to press the fast-forward button [here is
just one example, the mild version of this sequence is where the audience sees
a man being sick and that is pretty much all I can tell you without going into
great detail about it.
Generally speaking
the action-packed sequences in no particular order are some explosions or some
torture followed by many weapons being used or many deaths [depending where you
are in this project.]
This film receives: 58% approval: this
film is a mixed bag, you see it tells you the basics as it relates to the
storyline [how or why we are in this location, I mean there is a video but we
never see the video, please remember I had a difficult time reading the
subtitles so you may find out or more than what I did, I don't know] and add on
top of this everything I have said in this review, how could I forget this
really, really dark comedy level that sometimes gets used [which you may not
find funny, depending on your sense of humour. But taking everything into
consideration including some elements which I haven't discussed, because I
don't discuss every little detail of every project, I feel 58% approval just
about feels right.
