Chilean writer/director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza’s trash tribute pays homage to Peckinpah, Tarantino and Rodriguez, without doing justice to any of them.

It doesn’t even make sense, combining retro Grindhouse stylings with modern GTA missions.

Threatened by kingpin Don Che (Jorge Alis), DJ Santiago (Matías Oviedo) vows to track down the titular hitwoman (Fernando Urrejola), a scantily clad assassin who’s given even less to do than she is to wear.

Light on thrills, gore, invention – even machine guns – the result barely limps to feature length.
