Plot: A mistress gets caught up during a hunting retreat with three men, and begins her path of retribution

Despite not hearing universally positive reviews for this from the film festivals late last year, the look and style I got from seeing the trailers just had me wanting to see this on the big screen.

It certainly looked like this would be a treat for the eyes, and I was right.

There is a grindhouse vibe about it with the look and colour palette of Mad Max: Fury Road, which is always a good thing. As for the story, there are similarities to Kill Bill. But it certainly doesn't match the quality of Quentin Tarantino.

The plot may be generic, predictable and nothing much to be said about its themes. But the journey getting there was fun, violent, stylish and tense at times.

Speaking of violence, They really go for it in this and hold nothing back. There are many gory and brutal sequences that could rival The Raid films. But what makes the violence fun to watch is the entertaining vibe the director gives to these sequences.

There are also some cool dream sequences that portray the wonderful turning point our main character experiences, that sets us up for a pretty thrilling final act.

All the performances fitted the tone of the film well. They all felt purposely over-the-top and were more seen as gimmicks rather than characters we can relate to. So props to Matilda Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe and Guillaume Bouchede for their work.

The only problems I had with it were some of the decisions characters made in the film that just felt illogical, even for a film this outrageous and silly. There were a few moments like this that just momentarily took me out of film, and feeling like that could have been executed a lot better and that it would still fit with the tone.

But to get the best enjoyment out of this, it's probably best to not take this film too seriously, as there are a few moments that you just have to go with. This is a film that you're supposed to have fun with, and not make it a deep-thinking piece.

Director Coralie Fargaet and her team do a great job and giving blood-spattered entertainment with a strong experimental style that needs to be seen on a big screen.

Rating: 7/10
