A by-the-numbers, predictable (except maybe for the last killing, which makes little sense as it happens anyway) revenge yarn, made worthwhile by Arizona's beautiful vast landscapes, and Rachel McLish's beautiful steely muscles. McLish's character doesn't have many lines or much personality, but then again, neither does the rest of the (good) cast; her muscles do most of the talking for her, and she redefines the standards of female sexiness; she is aging pretty nicely as well - she gets away with playing a woman at least a decade younger than her real age at the time. Albert Pyun had already shown that he knows how to film a female bodybuilder in the "Nemesis" sequels with Sue Price, however it is disappointing that he hardly includes any leg shots of Rachel (it's all about her arms and, briefly, her back). ** out of 4.
