As a kid, December (Leena Kurishingal) had to witness her family
getting brutally slaughtered. She hasn't forgotten and has dedicated her
whole life to having her revenge, so for years she has trained her body
with an ex top marine whom she later killed only to prove to herself she
can let go, she has walked the streets as a vigilante - and during the
day, she had an office job at the police force, just to not lose her tap
on those who killed her mother, crime kingpin Law (Charles Ramsay), his
flesh-carving henchman Fisk (Will Cummings III) and his second-in-command
Harvey (Chad Meyer). Finally, December feels ready to strike, so she
gets herself a nighttime job at Law's organisation - as a hooker. And when
Harvey wants to testride her, she brutally kills him. Law is adamant
that Harvey's body can't be traced back to his organisation, so he pays a
cop, Tony (Scott Riding), to make the necessary arrangements, and promises
him a night with his new girl in return - December. Thing is, Tony knows
December from the precinct, and tried to date her a good hundred times,
but now that he finds out she works as a hooker, this is a major turn-on -
but it also means he drops his guard, and for December, Tony's aiding Law
is pretty much his death sentence ... With Tony down, Law and his men
know there is something the matter with December, and they soon find out
who she is and what she has set out to do - which leads to a big final
shootout that leaves noone standing ... A low budget action
flick that needs a bit of time to kick into gear: After its violent
opening scene, a bit too much time is wasted with chronicling December's
(rather clichéed) evolution to the death angel who she ultimately
becomes. It's only in the last third of the movie, when the action
actually kicks in, that the film shows its true strength, because the
action scenes, despite obviously made on a budget, are some of the most
exciting seen in a long time, not only thanks to accomplished choreography
but also thanks to perfect and innovative camerawork. And even if the film
had a few dull stretches beforehands, it's the finale that ultimately
makes it worthwhile ...
