Title: Poor Kim
Review: Della is an abused wife and she's about as beaten down as a person can be. One night, she is accosted by four young hoodlums who chase her into the woods. As the brutal thugs close in on her, she finds herself fighting for her life.Kim Basinger used to be a big star and a good actress, but not this time. This is a cheaply-made, amateurish movie that uses violence and gore in place of character and dialogue, and she has no chance to shine. There aren't any surprises and it actually gets tedious waiting for the baddies to catch Della who is armed with only her trusty tool box, and manages to overcome years of abuse and emerge a strong woman in short order. Lukas Haas plays the gang leader and he's good at playing ruthless types, but his dialogue gets sillier and sillier and his last scene is nothing if not bizarre.A quickie indie movie that features repulsive characters tormenting a fragile woman; it gets old fast.
