Plot Summary

Lindy, a woman with a rare neurological disorder that causes her to act on extreme, often violent, impulses when she's angry or aroused, uses an electrode-lined vest to control her rage. When she falls for Justin, a man who genuinely makes her feel safe, her life is upended. After Justin is mysteriously murdered, Lindy embarks on a furious, blood-soaked quest for revenge, leaving a trail of bodies in her wake as she hunts down the killer.

I was expecting a mildly entertaining lady kicks butt film, but got a surprisingly delightful movie about justified rage.

Very entertaining, although the story line was not the best. I found the action scenes to be impressive, the acting was believable, but the plot was all over the place and a little weak. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
