Israeli writer and director Danny Lerner made this uneven thriller about two abused women. A Ukrainian woman forced into prostitution in Israel becomes an assassin where she befriends her abused neighbor which derails her plans to return home. Lerner misses a great opportunity to deliver some unique and original instead opts for the conventional nonsense that comes with the genre. The stunning Olga Kurylenko stars with a solid performance but can't save the poorly written script which has huge plausibility gaps. The talented supporting cast includes Ninette Tayeb and Liron Levo. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
