Gun Woman (2014)

"Gun Woman" is a pretty fun revenge flick. Sort of a Japanese take on "Thriller: A Cruel Picture", I'd say, mixed with a little "Oldboy". Throw in a healthy dose of gore and sleazy subject matter and you've got a recipe for prime entertainment...

A sadistic, raving lunatic wrongly accuses a doctor of his father's death and expresses his acrimony by raping and killing the doc's wife and leaving him hobbled. Some time later, the doctor's elaborate method of vengeance is ready to be sought, which involves purchasing a young female junkie and molding her into an incredibly efficient assassin. Next, she is to pose as a corpse to infiltrate a necrophilia den out in the desert with a disassembled handgun sewn into her body.

As you can probably imagine, this one delivers on a range of 'goods'. Gore, rape, corpse fucking, cannibalism, fight training montages... The overall concept is well executed and fully embraces a "classick" B-movie/'exploitation' quintessence - involving some decent gore; most notably a 'dry run' on the effects of blood loss conducted on a helpless girl and, of course, the climactic showdown with our bloody, naked heroine. It also wraps up with a decent enough 'twist'. "Gun Woman" is a fun, nutty revenge/action/sleaze joint well-worth checking out.
