Ms. 45
Thana, a mute seamstress is beaten and raped twice on the same day by two different attackers. She kills the last attacker, but instead of calling the police, she proceeds to chop him up into little pieces and stocks it in her fridge. She grabs the dead mans 45 and goes on a man-killing spree, plugging away at any man who gets in her way.
This is a very immoral and disturbing film and Zoe Tamerlis delivers the sleaziest performance of a lifetime as the beautiful and vengeful Thana. Together with "Bad Lieutenant" this is without a doubt Ferraras most powerful work.
Investigation finished: 2001-01-30
Story: 8/10 - One of the best vigilante/urban revenge films, following in the footsteps of "Death wish".
Acting: 7/10 - Zoe Tamerlis gets to kill, maim, take off her clothes and all without uttering one line of dialogue.
Violence: 7/10 - After the gory black comedy "Driller killer" Ferrara decided to tone down the bloodshed, but it's still very nasty and vicious.
Nudity: 3/10 - Very minimal, probably to prevent us from getting an overdose of exploitation.
Coolness: 9/10 - Very stylish!. Tamerlis gets to go nuts at a company Halloween party dressed as a pistol-packin' nun.
...a litle something from our surveilance?
