Ella (Patricia Allison) is the punk daughter of the sheriff who just so happens to be the fastest gun in her island town. When her father (Bashir Salahuddin) is killed just after being warned that the people who killed his wife and son are back in town, she hopes that someone will get her justice. No one does and it feels like her father's murder is being forgotten. Well, this may be set in the present, but it's definitely a Western and it has a heroine who equals any man with a gun.
The state police, led by Sam Mayo (Adam Lustick) aren't getting anything done. The new cop Hobbes (Arjun Gupta) is clueless and the mayor Calvin Whitney (Tate Donovan) may be behind it all. All Ella has is her weapon and her friend Townes (Myles Evans).
Directed by Max Isaacson and written by Tony Borden, this was filmed in Hawaii, where Paradise is located. It's gritty at times yet covered in bright colors; Tia Carrere shows up as the boss of the bad guys, complete with an eye patch. I read one review that said that it can't figure out what kind of movie it is. I disagree; it's one that has so many influences yet emerges as a unique and exciting action film all its own.
