Everly is a 2014 Direct to Video action film directed by Joe Lynch and written by Yale Hannon. The film stars Salma Hayek as the title character, a woman who had been kidnapped and forced into prostitution four years before the start of the movie. She is now being attacked by her criminal overlord after he discovered that she was working with the police to bring down his organization, and he promises to also kill her mother and daughter. Nearly the entire film takes place in the single apartment where Everly has been held for years, as she fights off hitmen, torturers and other prostitutes as she struggles to survive until she can get her mother and daughter out of the situation alive.The fights are brutal and blood-filled, with none of the fanservice to be expected from a film starring Salma Hayek or with a concept that can be described using the term "Prostitute hitwoman". As the story progresses hope dwindles from escape to just survival, and maybe not even that.The film received a digital release on iTunes on January 23, 2015, and was released in a few theaters on February 27, 2015. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Everly / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer depicts the movie as a much more frenetic, almost campy film. The attacks from the other women of the building, which actually occupy less than ten minutes of the film, are shown as a much larger part of the story with implications that they are sexy, campily dressed hitwomen instead of abused victims out of their depth and desperate for a way out of their lives. | |

| Everly / int_21bf4878 | comment |
Decapitation Presentation: Everly spends the first few minutes of the film desperately trying to call her police contact, only to get his voicemail, and she becomes increasingly furious at the apparent dismissal when he had promised to protect her. However, a few minutes later she learns that the reason he is not answering his phone is that his head is in a box in the other room. | |

The corrupt cops make sure to evacuate the rest of the tenants from the building before trying to capture Everly. | |

Flash Step: The Sadist does this, or at least as close to it as you can get and make it vaguely realistic. He sidesteps offscreen to dodge a bullet, and steps back onscreen to punch the shooter. It happens far faster than he should have been able to cross the room. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Everly and some of the hookers show a lot of skin, the latter largely in stripperific outfits (as you might expect, given their jobs). | |

Rape and Revenge | |
| Everly / int_b2b2093c | comment |
Rape and Revenge: Evelyn was gang-raped just prior to the start of the film. She almost immediately gets a hidden gun and shoots all of them. The rest of the film is spent with her fighting against Taiko, who'd ordered it and also made her a sex slave (thus subject to many other rapes offscreen). She eventually kills him as well. | |

Sadist | |
| Everly / int_b39d5719 | comment |
Sadist: The Torture Technician on Taiko's orders is appropriately named like this. He chillingly loves to torture his victims with different kind of acids he apparently always brings in his suitcase. Taiko himself is this too (if not moreso) as he deliberately put Everly through the whole mess for his own entertainment, had her mother killed in order to break her even more and finally he personally tried to kill her after all his henchmen died. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Her?: Invoked. Taiko is deliberately toying with Everly to make her suffer as much as possible before personally killing her. | |

Yakuza | |
| Everly / int_bdddc73e | comment |
Yakuza: Taiko is a Japanese crimelord at the head of his organization. Whether the gang is exactly a Yakuza organization is not expounded upon, since it is shown having members of numerous different nationalities, but its leadership and top-line enforcers are Japanese. | |

Tragic Dream | |
| Everly / int_bdf2a460 | comment |
Tragic Dream: Everly wants to escape the life she has been forced into and reunite with her mother and daughter. However, she is told directly by Taiko, and accepts it herself, that she will not escape the apartment alive, so she changes her dream to just getting her mother and daughter out alive. That dream is a half success, as Maisey does survive even though her mother is dead. Unfortunately, the prediction that she would not escape comes true, as even when she drags herself out of the apartment at the end of the movie she dies with her legs across the threshold, still in the apartment. | |

Fan Disservice | |

Fan Disservice: Salma Hayek spends several scenes naked and/or in the shower, but is screaming/crying, covered in blood and has gaping wounds all throughout. The scenes are shot to emphasize that she is in excruciating pain and torment in these situations, and is not enjoying a steamy sexy shower. | |

Action Girl | |
| Everly / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Everly, who fights off dozens of attackers, from the normal to the bizarre. This is completed with hand-to-hand combat, bladed weapons, firearms, acids and explosives. Whatever she has, she will use. Zelda is the prostitute in the apartment next to Everly's, and is the first one to learn of the bounty on her head after she survives the original criminals. Zelda is the one woman that Everly actually reacts to with fear; the other women of the building are more dangerous to themselves and each other than they are to Everly. | |

Cat Fight | |
| Everly / int_dceccabf | comment |
Cat Fight: Subverted. After Everly survives the initial attempt on her life, all of the other prostitutes in the building are told there is now a bounty on her head. However, instead of sexy slapping between scantily-clad women, their fights are brutally short with copious blood as untrained, unskilled women are killed in gross lots. | |

Closed Circle | |
| Everly / int_e2a6ebc1 | comment |
Closed Circle: Everly spends the entire film trapped in the same apartment where she has been held prisoner for four years. When she tries to leave the building characters physically pick her up and place her back in the apartment. She never does get out of the apartment, dying in the hallway with her legs still inside the door. | |

Combat Stilettos | |
| Everly / int_e36de06c | comment |
Combat Stilettos: Subverted. For the first act of the film, Everly keeps putting on a pair of high heels when she is planning to leave the apartment. However, each time she tries to go out she is attacked, and each time she takes off the high heels because they are an extreme hindrance in a fight. Eventually, she stops trying to put them back on. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| Everly / int_e431c24c | comment |
Not Quite Dead: A few examples: The mook that managed to shoot Everly in the opening scene - she was sure a single bullet was enough for him. The unnamed mook sitting on the coach is treated as a dead body for a while before regaining consciousness. The Masochist returns in the very end, after taking half a mag into his torso and falling - apparently dead - on Everly few scenes earlier. | |

Only a Flesh Wound | |
| Everly / int_e663d3ef | comment |
Only a Flesh Wound: Played With. Everly get shot in the kidney and later in her shoulder with apparently no ill impact on her performance and she's even hit directly in her punctured side a few times without sustaining disabling pain or any serious blood loss. But when Taiko puts his finger into one of the wounds, she screams at the top of her lungs and winces in pain like mad. She also suffers tremendous but relatively slow blood loss during the film and near-death experience by the end. | |

The Oner | |
| Everly / int_e7e558 | comment |
The Oner: The final shot of the movie is a continuous pan that starts in the hallway outside of the apartment, goes down to the lobby, outside, up the side the building and through a window into the hallway again, then continues up to the roof to look over the city. This is the only time in the film that the camera leaves the apartment and its hallway. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Mrs. Haberdasher, in the apartment above Everly, keeps complaining about the noise and ruckus coming up from below. Her rants are repeated throughout the film, always to the surprise and confusion of the people involved in the life-and-death violence. The Sadist does not play around with her ignorance, and has one of his men kill her the when she begins interrupting his activities. | |
