The film begins in Moscow and continues in Toronto. A Russian agency is promising young women a new start by offering them jobs as maids in Canada. When they arrive they find they've been deceived. Their passports are confiscated and they're forced to work as strippers and prostitutes. They aren't even allowed to leave their motel room unaccompanied. Karma is a mute woman whose sister disappears after travelling to Canada. She soon realises what's happening and sets out to kill everyone in the agency, one at a time.
The film isn't as sexy as the poster suggests. It's a gritty tale of violence and revenge. If you like tough women who kick ass, this film is for you. I don't understand why the main character is mute. It adds nothing to the story. If it's meant to symbolise something I don't know what it is. Maybe my readers can help me. Please leave a comment.
