Sam is a chemistry major. She has a boyfriend, Jed, and a friend, Juliette. They go on a "fun treasure hunt," which includes taking pictures of expensive stuff. They take a picture of an expensive violin, but Jed starts to take a whole bunch of money out of a safe. Sam says, "Hey, that's so not cool." Jed shoots a security guard, then Sam.
Sam takes the rap. Four years later she gets out of prison, yearning for revenge. She meets Joe, who is a cop, and doesn't really have a roll in the story, except to stall her once in a while. She kills people, goes through a tremendous amount of clichés, then the movie ends. Yay!

See the production company's name? Yeah. Do I have to go on?
I do? Dammit...alright, so this wasn't a complete waste of time, I admit. Anything with Eric Roberts in it is automatically boosted to a level mere mortals cannot comprehend. His scenes are priceless...he changes his hair every scene, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I'm sure he thought it added..."character," or something, but it's pretty silly. But, he's still the man.
Angie isn't exactly the best actress in the world, but she does the best she can here. Really there isn't much for her to do:
1. Look angry.
2. Be vengeful.
3. Look angry while you are being vengeful.
4. Cry because apparently, deep down inside, you really need a man.
5. Be vengeful while you look angry.
So you see, kind of a stretch. Plus she has to wear a hideous blonde wig, eek.
There's plenty of completely useless scenes in the movie. The "let's get a makeover" montage is there...well, because apparently that's just what women do, is get makeovers, no matter what they are doing. The whole "I was pregnant when Jed shot me" and "Eric Roberts killed my family so I don't like him" plot points were so predictable the DVD player actually shut off in protest. I had to promise to watch David Lynch movies for a solid week to make up for them.
So like I said, there were some ok parts. The final shootout was ridiculous, especially when Eric Roberts runs out of bullets and decides he can deflect shots with his huge chest and his crazy hair. He just runs out saying, "Shoot me you bitch ahhhhh!!!" then gets blown through a door.
Now that I think about it, the very end makes no sense at all. I'm about to spoil the awesome ending, so beware.
All Sam wants is revenge, as does Joe. Sam gets the revenge for Joe by blowing away Eric Roberts. When it's time for Sam to kill Jed, Joe says, "Why would you want to go to jail for this scumbag?" SHE JUST KILLED 15 PEOPLE TO GET TO ERIC ROBERTS, PLUS SHE KILLED HIM. Why the hell would she go to jail for killing one more guy? I'm sure the police would put together that she came back to kill Jed and took out an entire complex of gangsters to get to him, not that her prints aren't all over the damn place anyway.
Why am I wracking my brain about this? See it if you like Eric Roberts, which you should dammit.
