Here’s the exhilarating news: Cynthia Rothrock (The Last Kumite, Fyre Rises) is starring in a movie called Lady Scorpions that she debuted last on the last year. Here is the problem, this is coming from Tiger Style Media who also released Art of Eight Limbs and The Lockdown which were rather bland. But the rough thing for all of you is that I am willing to take a bullet, or a kick to the head in order to find out whether the third time is indeed the charm for them.
During the course of the film, Lacy (Caitlin Dechelle, Chinese Zodiac, Furious 7) gets accosted by some thugs while in her car whom she dispatches rather easily. Of course, Rothrock hardly finds herself in any danger since this was only a self-defense class gut was just role-playing. Far better to call her mother, Alena (Cynthia Rothrock), but this is not so fruitful as she only up to tell her daughter that Ariel (Sofia O’Brien), her granddaughter, is having a birthday party tomorrow.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that she is a Federal Officer and is in search of Jose Manuel Dispatched the Fist of the Condor, who is trying to extort a Russian mafia. She becomes a woman who has been in the limelight for too long and tries to fend off several bodyguards until Lucien Jeff Fahey the long night the lawnmower man walks in. Engaging in one last deal is all Lucien wants to do before quitting, but the situations at hand keep getting worse for sonnys father. He tells her this while they are chatting about parenthood. After all, his brilliant idea is not to execute her – instead, he and his handlers abandon her somewhere in the middle of the desert and drive away.Â
Not super super overdue release for his first impression this drama has a political nature. Bruce Del Castillo decided that he aspires best parallel to Lady Scorpions and Bruce the results as a base. Also,he had the best deal working the camera, Setter, and aspiring to feature Joker.
H. Daniel Gross, who is linked with numerous projects received a writing credit, but this is the story of the original so he is unable to do damage here as he has done in the films Tiger Style Media created.
But Castillo and Carolan do not require help to encourage the rest of us to trot out the clichés. To intervene Alena, Sonny bursts in Ariel’s birthday party and intercept. As though we don’t know that’s practically a sure shot that her mother and grandmother will stop arguing on who to kill first, as they do with a crowd and a few politicians in their goal to save her.Â
Even though the plot is quite standard, there are certain scenes that Lady Scorpions would like to approach in a somewhat different fashion. The initial appearance of Lucien and his men on screen is reminiscent of the 70s Western movies and is quite legendary. When our heroine shoves a funnel into a man’s mouth and the camera then swings to the other side where the same man is pouring hot sauce into a woman’s eye, too much disturbing music accompanies the scene. Unfortunately, there are virtually none of these factors to make them consider anything other than the gimmicks that they are.
Coming last of the lot, Joe Wong’s composition stands out to be the biggest weakness of the film. He fails to go beyond the same few synth notes all throughout the movie and it has a very loud sound that annoys the listeners’ ear. In the last act of the movie, a pop song is played which adds additional fuel to the already burning fire in this matter. In addition to that, Wong’s soundtrack only worsens the situation contrary to the composer’s efforts of raising the situation further by fusing the songs with the movie. The theory that these two songs raise the overall feeling of the movie only worsens the situation I believe most people would agree that sound track had a great intention to feel but could not fully go to great lengths in actual execution.Â
On the brighter side, Lady Scorpions does work around the fight action with respect to its scenes as compared to before. A great combination of fight scenes and sword fighting that includes Angel G. Brophy, Blackout, and Eggshells, is set between gunfire and torture by Ernest Lomeli Muse and Stan Lee. This I believe serves as an outlet for Shestov to expose himself. However, there are several more things that go correctly in Lady Scorpions other than these say for instance a good character projection. This also explains why Alena is so bent on destroying the empire that Lucien built it’s incomprehensible. Of course, it does, but once you learn that, it only makes it more impossible to comprehend why he gave her permission to let her live at the beginning to.
This could be a good option for you if you just wish to enjoy her take on a few guys, however, everything around the action sequences, including the rather anticlimactic finale, leaves much to be desired. Lady Scorpions are easily available across online channels owing to the budget-friendly Paramount Republic pictures distribution.
