It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
MADONNA: A CASE OF BLOOD AMBITION is a very poor little independent thriller from Canada which even Code Red couldn't make look good for its DVD release. The story is about a man sentenced to death by a jury for some pretty depraved crimes. Years later, his grown-up daughter sets about on a path of revenge by murdering each of the jury members who convicted him. To do this she dresses up as a femme fatale and parades around a lot in lingerie before committing bloody murders. With an amateur cast, a poor script, and plenty of lacklustre technical elements that keep on adding up, this isn't really worth your time or money. The story is nonsensical at times and for long stretches of the running time it goes nowhere at all, just padded with strip club scenes and the like instead.
This movie's screen credits say it is based on the novel of the same name by Ed Kelleher and Harriette Vidal. This is true only to the extent that both feature a beautiful woman who is out to murder a group of men for a crime committed in the past. Do not look for a well-articulated plot or deep message here. Everything is subsidiary to the main character's drive for revenge; that being said, do look for good acting from a supporting cast of unknown Canadians, and lots of good location shooting which is all the more effective because of the film's minimal production values. All of this action looks very much like it could be taking place in your neighbourhood right now, featuring people very like your neighbours. Not everything is explained, but that is also how real life often is. All this gives it an impact which goes beyond its unpretentious style. (The original novel is also a good read, but, as I said, it has practically nothing to do with the movie.)
