Comments: The movie does have T&A. The females are very attractive and wearing less even more so. There are sexual scenes and nudity so this is a mature movie.
Joan does have a hard look to her and she acts tough.
Not much happens at the start of this movie, Joan is like muscle for hire. About a third the way in the movie picks up with some violence. It does look fake though.
Things really start to pick up and they start to get weird. Joan with her dark powers wages a one-woman war against her ex-partners in crime and against others breaking the law. The effects with her dark smokey tendrils does look great.
The mystery of how Joan comes back is a dark one. Also the powers she now has. Is she a ghost or a demon? What is she? This situation occurring with her is the best part of the movie.
Her battle with evil is anti-climatic. The pushing back and forth with black smoke is cool a few times but grows old fast. Questions are left unanswered, why did she get this power and why did others have it, where does it come from, how did she come back?
The basic idea of Joan out protecting the streets and being like a super-hero is a good one.
