I had started watching some artistic foreign film last night, but it was sort of slow and it just didn’t keep my interest. So, I looked for something else and found this:
Yes, there is such a movie. And yes, I did watch it.
Yes, there are nude nuns in it. And yes, there are some guns. (They’re not tiny, but they’re not all that big.)
Yes, there is some bad acting in it. And also some mediocre acting.
It’s about a nun who, after being exploited by drug trafficking priests, becomes an “avenging angel”.
It lags quite a lot in the middle, I think mainly due to a lack of story development—a lot of attitude and no plot, perhaps a failed attempt to build suspense. And some weird editing effects. And a lot of prominent “background” music.
It’s not great. Then again, it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
At one point I had the thought that perhaps it’s trying to be Kill Bill with nuns and bare breasts. And if that was the intention, well, it didn’t come close.
Oh, hey...I learned a new word: nunsploitation. It’s not in the movie; it was in some review I skimmed.
