Kim Basinger stars as "Della," a woman who married the "hot jock" after college, had two kids and moved into a gated community. Her husband is abusive. The ordeal she goes through on Christmas Eve at a trip to the mall forces her to take control of her life when she's accosted in the parking lot after hours by a group of punks.
The chase ends up in the woods when she crashes her vehicle, abandons it and tries to elude them. There are some mistakes she makes like forgetting to charge her cell phone and leaving a nasty note on someone's car for taking up two parking spots and leaving her purse in the car. But perhaps if she didn't do these things, she wouldn't have come out stronger. Instead of her purse, she's armed with a little red toolbox. A screwdriver, large wrench, portable tire iron and road flare prove useful, to say the least.
Psychologically speaking, this movie is a wake-up call to abused and/or under-appreciated women everywhere.
Great DVD from Redbox, once again.
