Sex & Fury was an unusual viewing experience. I was expecting a grindhouse classic that would transcend cultural boundaries, but this movie felt very much like a foreign film. The way that situations unfolded often had me confused, even though it's a fairly simple revenge story. There is a subplot about a character played by Christina Lindberg that seemed entirely unnecessary, and I never quite knew if that character was working with or against the main character, Ocho. Ocho should have been an iconic role, but I think because this movie falters in a few places--such as the storytelling--Sex and Fury hasn't really become the touchstone it might have been. Another example of where they dropped the ball is the fight scenes. They really needed to be better staged. Again, Ocho could have been a badass for the ages, but she needed to mow people down with ease, not labor to pick dudes off one at a time. I did enjoy watching it and I would recommend it to fans of violent exploitation films, but not to the average viewer.
