The idea was a good one – get sexy Salma Hayek playing a gun-toting badass and you’ll have a cool movie on your hands. But “Everly” doesn’t really stack up:
But while the idea of watching a scantily-clad Hayek fight her way through a gang of yakuza henchman and prostitutes-turned-assassins may sound like a grand old time on paper, “Everly” is never able to match its B-movie aspirations, instead forced to flounder in the gutter like the filthy, exploitative grindhouse film that it is.
It seems like critics and audiences agree according to Rotten Tomatoes.
