I LOVED the first half hour of this movie! I really loved it. Joan is muscle for a mob. Apparently she has been successful; because she leads a team of three men. The three become two, when she kills one for annoying her. She is terrible in her job! It's not because she's nonaggressive; but rather, because she's too aggressive. And she's too proud. When the head boss visits her, to tell her she went too far; she doesn't ask for his guidance. She's given another task; a very easy one. She's supposed to warn her boyfriend to stop helping street kids off their drug addictions. Apparently another branch of her gang sells them drugs. She STILL can't quite do the task right. She doesn't know if she should hurt him, or just warn him. So she just opts to start a lovers' quarrel. At this point, the film is fully moving in a very engaging direction. What will happen next? Does she gain a conscience, from the boyfriend? Does she continue on her violent path, until a larger crisis occurs? No. For no real reason, her crew kills her; without their boss's knowledge. Now she becomes a vengeful ghost, who kills them. Duh. Wadda story, eh? A ghost. Wow. What could have been a compelling crime drama, turns into low-brow grindhouse slasher/splatter. I wish the movie-makers would have turned this into a traditional good vs. evil story, with her redemptive sacrifice, in the end. Instead, we get a ghost.

One of the worse movie i ever seen .. bad movie bad actors bad director ... dont spend your time or money

Killing Joan is the new action/ revenge movie From Writer/ Director Todd Bartoo . Jamie Bernadette (Joan)plays a bad ass Strong arm for the mob. She starts getting to aggressive and calling all the shots. Anyone who pisses her off or poses a threat is disposed of. This gets her Boss Frank angry and he decides to have her killed. She becomes resurrected and gets her revenge on those who double-crossed her and left her for dead. This is a cross between Death Wish and the classic supernatural toned The Crow! Our main character at the beginning is a ruthless heartless killer. The only person she has ever loved makes her see her evil ways. He slowly get through to her and starts seeing there is more to life than killing and revenge. But is it to late. Jamie Bernadette over the last year has grown as an actress. She does not type cast herself and in every movie plays a strong female character that shows her range! David Corey Foster who plays Mob boss Frank was equally entertaining. He made the best of his screen time and created a memorable character. Todd Bartoo could of made a paint by number action revenge flick but he added the supernatural element that worked! He Gave a cool take of a very predictable genre with a very nice goosebumps ending! I also like how he directed Jamie and would love to see another feature pairing Jamie under Todd's direction.

Written and Directed by Todd Bartoo. With Jamie Bernadette , Teo Celigo, Erik Audé , Dion Bosco, Katarina Leigh Waters, Erin O 'Brien, Alexandra Lemus, Danny Mika, David Carey Foster. A special thanks to Clint Morris for providing me with all the promo items!
