American Mary

It’s a Dexter/Boxing Helena/Girl With a Dragon Tattoo hybrid. A violent revenge fantasy with some fine technique, but some jumbled themes. What are they saying? Don’t rape vindictive surgeons? It is ostensibly a piece of feminism, but when the protagonist is performing her back-alley operations in a gothy, black bustier one wonders if the filmmakers didn’t lose their own point in all the bloody pomp and circumstance.
