Assassins from the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (devas?) attack a wedding party to kill all in attendance. The pregnant bride survives and after a four-year coma, her baby gone, sets out for revenge.

This is an action film with cinematic fight scenes to the extreme. Thrown in are weird dialog at spots, unusual characters and situational humor.

The story is decent, the cinematography is good, but the excessive violence gets in the way of the movie, IMHO. But that won't stop me from seeing vol. 2.

I found the 'making of' in the extras is worth watching.

Wonderful visuals, fantastic fight scenes.
A professional assassin hunts down the people who tried to kill her.

The ultimate action movie(s).

Bill: Do you find me sadistic? You know, I bet I could fry an egg on your head right now, if I wanted to. You know, Kiddo, I'd like to believe that you're aware enough even now to know that there's nothing sadistic in my acti... (show all)ons. Well, maybe towards those other... jokers, but not you. No Kiddo, at this moment, this is me at my most...
