Lila And Eve
That story began with a horrific killing of a boy in a horrific accident. The story began with Leila, a sad mother following the death of her son, who was killed in a shooting from a moving car. Eve, a woman who lost her son, also meets Billy, the woman who is looking for a worm to take revenge. There is still a complete absence of justice, as Eve began to urge Leila to take things in her hands to track the killers and take revenge after the absence of justice. In the end, both women quickly found themselves in a violent pursuit of justice, working at the top of the drug traffickers in a new and violent way.

...tumbles off the rails long before the end credits roll.

There's no saving a high-voltage revenge drama that relies on selfies for its big reveal.

A mid-point twist is particularly ridiculous, and in an attempt to reconcile this turning point, the final act of the movie becomes a mess.

The footage rolls to an ending that is satisfying and makes the time it takes to watch this crime thriller evolve worth the effort. Lila & Eve will someday be a great cable movie. For right now it is a compelling indie film.

Learning by doing, the avenging angels roll up on some thugs in a convenience store parking lot, infiltrate a hot dance club and home-invade a high-rise apartment; they also find time to wallpaper Lila's living room (Eve is an interior decorator, see).

Alas, even a promising premise and a fine actress like Davis can't save an increasingly ludicrous plot. Justice may be served, but screenwriting logic? Not so much.

Lila & Eve embraces its psychological thrills rather than action, but it never fully commits to what that decision entails.
July 16, 2015
A standard-issue female vigilante thriller that's skillfully elevated by the performances of leads Viola Davis and Jennifer Lopez.

Davis (who also served as a co-producer) does her damnedest to make something of her character and while not even her undeniable gifts make anything of it, it is oddly inspiring to see her at least making the effort.

Davis (who was an executive producer on the film) gives a strong performance, as if she were acting in one of those many prestige projects lighting up her resume. It's a noble try, but this dreck is beyond saving.

"Lila and Eve" deteriorates into a tawdry shoot-'em-up whose screenplay takes an ill-advised surreal twist that propels the movie deep into the ozone.
