I had not watched the original web series or read the comic so I guess that makes me a non-fan/follower. On its own this would be a standard slice and fight film but with a very agile and capable action gal. Instead they included a plethora of supplements that help give this entire package a higher rating.

You have a standard (and completely unbelievable in the beginning) story of a hit woman turning the tables and killing all of those she worked for in the past. This change of heart stems from having a 12" blade stuck in her brain, but hey - this is entertainment not reality. The stunts are good, the film look is average to grainy throughout, but what makes this (especially for the fans) are the special features [on the US DVD by Sony].

• Making of: 30 minutes covering all that went into the production outside of the focused features following.
• Casting Zoe: 15 minutes of the thoughts and process behind having her be the one.
• Writing Brubaker: 15 minutes catering to the fans of his and why he does what he does.
• Behind the Stunts: 16 minutes (my favorite) about the real work horses and brains behind how they created and pulled off the stunts in this.
• Zoe Screen Test: 3 minutes of her trying to act without kicking the crud out of someone.
• Eve's Tips: Several 30-second Webisodes entailing how one can go about trying to kill like she can.

Brilliant.
