A powerful Argentine gangster uses everything in his power to stop the woman that wants to kill him, a sexy mercenary known as “the machine gun woman”. The staggering sum of cash he offers for her head sets in motion an army of hitmen. And also, by accident, bursts in the life of naïve DJ Santiago, a common youth that will have to steel his guts against the underworld, and above all, survive the irresistible - and bloodthirsty - Machine Gun Woman.

Viewing Notes
3rd film of Day 4, 16th feature overall at FF2012. I still haven’t seen Espinoza’s other films but he’s a favorite at Fantastic Fest. I can see why. This is a gritty, exploitation-lite, crime actioner with a gun-toting hot woman in leather. Fun, slight but not all that great. Entertaining for what it is but forgettable. Still look forward to catching up w/his previous work.
Day 4 at FF2012 - Ernesto Díaz Espinoza was there for Q&A along with the statuesque Fernanda Urrejola. Has all the hallmarks of a modern exploitation film for a mostly amusing watch. Didn’t entirely work for me as it’s trying too hard to be over the top. More like a collection of setpieces rather than a cohesive movie.
