After one bullet-riddled trailer for director Joe Lynch’s Everly, here comes the second one, which pretty much covers the same beats and blasts.
Salma Hayek stars as the title character, who has betrayed a mob boss. So he decides to have her killed by sending several heavily armed killers to her apartment. There’s just one flaw in his plan – she’s far more of a badass than he ever suspected and is ready to fight to stay alive. Even when there are rocket launchers pointed in her direction. What we’re saying is, we hope she has really, really good home insurance.
Lynch and writer Yale Hannon had to drag this one through development, and despite some positive reactions at festivals, it faced a pretty poisonous reaction from US critics earlier this year and has slipped down the release calendar slightly here. You’ll be able to see what you think for yourself when Everly arrives on June 26 in cinemas and on demand.
