Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

While .45 features some passable performances from its cast and an okay storyline it's far from being masterfully made. The main problem for me mostly is the dialog that gives you the impression that Gary Lennon was trying to craft a Martin Scorcese style film featuring a lot of uses of the "F" word and a lot of vulgar language which easily offends the everyday sensitive viewer. But for myself who looked at the film without finding anything about it offensive the real problem with the dialog is it's both extremely repetitive and boring. A common problem with just about every film with a dialog that could very well be an encyclopedia of swearing.The second problem are the characters, I never really grew to care about any of them as sometimes through the course of the film they just seemed stupid. Like the main character Kat, played by Milla Jovovich who stands out the most, she's smart enough to plot revenge but not smart enough to avoid a guy like Big-Al (Angus Macfadyen) who pounds her to a pulp altogether.Final Verdict, This film is really not as good as people have been saying despite the cast giving passable performances, the main problems are the repetitive and boring dialog and the uninteresting characters.

The movie is great. I love it. Thanks to the deep script-writing, the world in the film is gritty and surreal. First off, .45 starts off extremely strong. Viewers should first know that the movie's clear theme is sex. Can't go ten minutes without a scene involving some form of love. While this doesn't bother me, it may bother others.Milla Jovovich excellently plays the woman Kat, a beautiful if-abused woman who is the girlfriend of arms dealer "Al." As Kat and Al's relationship gets worse over her selling weapons, the movie also decides to take a dive. Not only is it never explained how she was able to manipulate all of her friends, but she has a quick attitude change halfway through the movie. She goes from being a soft woman scared of the real word to a hard-ass b&%#$ who isn't scared of anybody. The change isn't subtle; one scene she's scared, the next she's facing down Al in a courtroom.The movie becomes quite confusing here. Not only does the movie ditch some of the strongest characters (Kat's friend and Reilly) but it also leaves a giant cliffhanger. The movie is supposedly about getting revenge on Al, but there's never really any of that.I would blame all of this on the script. It goes from great to "meh" in about 5 minutes flat, actually. Like I said, starts off strong...falters and dies at the end like an old car engine.I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Milla Jovovich's acting like I certainly do. Otherwise, stray away from this movie,

This is a superb adult drama.Every character in the movie is repulsive in their own way but hugely convincing and totally pivotal to the story. This is a intense drama about how a woman tormented by abuse seeks out her revenge.The play rages with raw language, unpleasant action and rough sex; it is brutal, nasty and real.All the actors give brilliant performances and the director and producers ought to be congratulated for giving us some reality.Deserves very high marks:9/10.

Loved this movie. The thing that elevates this film out of your typical small crime genre pieces are the originality of the characters and the directions they push the story. Don't get me wrong, you get your barfights, your shower scenes, and your double-crossings -- they just don't happen in the fashion you think they will. All these characters have issues that are at once hilarious (with great talking heads quick-pop scenes that share snippets of their past), realistic and identifiable (at her core Milla Jovovich plays a woman who knows she deserves a better life), yet unpredictable (these characters have Issues!) I swear there are times where two characters are laying in bed and you don't know if they are going to have sex or shoot each other. As their stories collide, you can't help but fall in love with Milla's character as she learns what is broken in her life and takes the necessary steps to fix it.If there is one weakness, it is Angus McFadden, who over-acts his performance in trying to bring to life a character that is a bigot but still at times loving. The character was already inherently intriguing but McFadden chews up the scenery. Milla is amazing, Dorff gives a gem of a performance, and writer/director Lennon coaxes some great character fireworks out of otherwise quiet and simple scenes. Great stuff.
