Stars - Salma Hayek
Directed by: Joe Lynch (@TheJoeLynch)
Summary: An action/thriller centered on a woman who faces down assassins sent by her ex, a mob boss, while holed up in her apartment. (via imdb).
There’s a moment fairly early in
Joe Lynch’s Everly when our plucky heroine (Salma Hayek as the titular Everly)
is on the phone with her would be captor/killer. In this scene, Salma manages
such a raw emotion that it immediately draws you into her character as a living
breathing entity. It’s a moment so
genuine and powerful it drives your relation with the character for the rest of
the movie. Frankly, it’s the best I’ve ever seen of Salma, who somehow manages
to look exactly the same as she did in Desperado
(ironically what the poster is styled after).
