In homage to the action films of the early 1980s, Cherry Bomb follows a young dancer and her quest for revenge against the group of men that brutally assaulted her. Seeing no justice coming from within the system Cherry enlists the help of her estranged older brother and some heavy firepower as the two siblings set out on a reckless revenge mission. Things start to spiral out of control when a mysterious hit man named Bull is hired to put an end to Cherry's bloody tirade. She soon realizes that there is more at stake than she ever imagined. --IMDb

Woman gets raped by a group of guys. Woman then proceeds to hunt down and kill rapists one by one. It's been done a hundred times before; not to mention a hundred times better.

Cherry Bomb is a stripper at the classiest of gentleman's clubs, The Pussy Hut. To be perfectly honest, the girl's not really qualified to do much else, but she's well liked in the club by the paying customers, her manager and the fellow girls, so it's all good. That is until she works the champagne room the night some guys decide to pay the bouncer to take a walk and gang rape her. Bummer. While she's been estranged from her brother, Brandon, for the past four years, this obviously gets his attention, and since he knows one of the guys who did it, he goes to his door and demands some monetary compensation for his sis. Naturally, dude isn't about to drop twenty grand on a whore he already had his way with, and in the ensuing scrum Brandon kills the man. When Cherry finds out about it, she convinces him to join her take out the remaining rapists.

This review's gonna be short and sweet since it doesn't deserve any more attention than that. You see, the movie is just bad. Not the fun Plan 9 From Outer Space bad, just a pointless waste of time across all fronts bad. Think of any aspect of film making, and Cherry Bomb failed at it. The story is cliched and unengaging, the acting is terrible, and I wanted to turn it off by about the thirty minute mark. But I pressed on for the sole purpose of this here web site. Oh, the things I do for you.

Let's cut right to the heart of the problem, Julin. The woman is just flat-out no good in front of a camera, and it's only exacerbated by her titular character. Our "protagonist" (not to mention every other woman in this movie) is an absolute vapid cunt. She's the kind of broad who thinks that being absolutely brain dead is cute; pro-tip: it's not, it's infuriating. We're supposed to root for this bitch? Much less than half way in I was wishing they had just finished her off in those first fucking five minutes. You know it's bad when a movie makes you root for the asshole rapists.

I've read reviews where people claim it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek homage to exploitation movies, but the truth is that Cherry Bomb is just drivel. Somebody owes me a fucking apology. 0/10.
