Blu-ray Review – A Gun for Jennifer

J2

1997's "A Gun for Jennifer" is a study of vigilantism sold with coarseness from co-writers Deborah Twiss and Todd Morris (who also directs). It's an exploitation film made during an era when such experiences were largely regulated to ultra low-budget features, endeavoring to return some roughness to the screen with its study of a female gang declaring war on predatory and violent men, with New York City the battle zone. "A Gun for Jennifer" attempts to lay in some plot to make the viewing experience a little more substantial, and it gets somewhere with an opening half dedicated to pace and vicious encounters. Twiss and Morris eventually lose concentration on storytelling basics, forcing the picture to crawl to a finale, but some raw energy remains in the movie, which definitely provides a snapshot of the city and its threatening atmosphere.
