The first thirty minutes are a copy of at least fifty other movies. Garner plays Riley North, and her husband and daughter are gunned down at a drive-by shooting at the carnival. How ridiculous is that? Any carnival has full parking at least a block around the fair grounds, and it is too insanely crowded for anyone to be able to drive by. Additionally, who ever heard of cars driving by the carnival rides? The rest of the story maintains little connection to reality, but the non-stop violence is entertaining.
The killers of Riley's family are evil drug trafficking kingpins who kill people for any slight. The judge and the prosecutors are in on a fix, so the charges against the killers are dismissed. Riley gets upset, and the judge orders her to be put into a mental hospital. Not very realistic. She escapes, and disappears for five years.
Unlike other stories where the victim of a crime is shown training in martial arts to get revenge, this movie just skips to five years later. The original killers are found hanging upside down from a Ferris wheel, at the same park where Riley's family got killed. How did she get three guys hanging fifty feet off the ground?
The rest of the story is equally improbable, but for sheer madcap killing of bad guys, it is fun to watch.
