Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
begob Lot of room for improvement, but this is a pretty good melodrama of low life.It starts off crude. We're introduced to the mute heroine, but they quickly push her into a daft murder scene that makes no effort to draw the audience in to the character. Yet she is sympathetic, and the actress and writers deserves praise for achieving this without a word of dialogue.The villain is well played, and his murder is particularly good. But that means the rest of the rampage loses the sharp edge of its revenginess - surely save the best till last. Instead we fall into cop-morality, which takes it out of the exploitation genre where there should be no Kansas to return to.The twist is good and unsettling.Far too much music, but it's appropriate in the early part. And disappointing that the lead actress can't dance - rubbing up against a pole is for cats.I'd like to see this story told with more Polish, set in bloated London. With a trail of dead bankers.
billcr12 Karma is a mute woman whose sister has been found murdered in the woods, apparently by some Canadian Russian Mafia types. Strike up the theme from the Godfather, we are in for quite a ride. Revenge is on the mind of Karma, and so she goes undercover, posing as a stripper to seductively weave her way into the evil and corrupt underworld of really mean criminals. Of course she manages to obtain a plethora of weapons and with the assurance of a military trained sniper, blows away a long line of extremely harmful people. Shera Bechard is sufficiently sexy and seductive as Karma, but the story is silly and wears thin very quickly. As diversion for an hour and a half on a rainy day, Sweet Karma is passable mind candy.
petropolisy I would not call this a unwatchable film but it is best if you fast forward most of it its better. Not many Russians in Toronto more Iranians and most just want to work and barty. 16 Blocks was filmed in Toronto as was Kick ass both cost a lot more to make but when you watch a film the cost that matters is your time more than the cost of the film. This film was shown at a few places were they do not speak English which may explain some good ratings. About as dumb a script as you could write bad acting directing bad ending. Toronto is cold in the winter but really nice in J J A you can get free beer across from the CN tower at Steam whistle, its a pils not my favorite type of beer but quite good just 5 or four things in it. I am only including this above information so reading this review will not be a total waste of time like this film.
Right-Wing-Man I am giving this a 10 because I just didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The story had plenty of twists and turns and excitement. Well written and well acted. More movies need to be made about the subject material, because the sex-slave-trade is out of control. Shera Bechard was great in this and I look forward to seeing her act more. The actor who played the undercover cop William, John Tokatlidis was awesome as well along with the whole cast. This movie passed with flying colors for acting like the real deal. I just Googled Shera Bechard, wow I thought she was an actor only, I didn't know she was a playmate, although I am probably the only male on the planet that doesn't read it or look at it. Thanks to all involved an excellent movie.
