Kirot, meaning Walls, is an Israeli action drama, written and directed by Danny Lerner, having as primary language English.

 

The movie opens with Galia and a female friend,who are trying to escape from the men who keep them hostage in a s3x slave business. The men catch them pretty fast,and beat them up.

The one in charge of her offers her a job as an assassin,as the others want to k!ll her,for they can't trust her anymore,since she tried to run away.

 

She manages to k!ll her first target, and she is given little money and an apartment. She keeps on asking for her passport back,and the money she is owed for working as a s3x slav3 for 4 years.

They keep on telling her soon,after the next job,and so on.

 

Galia befriends a woman from the apartment next door, who is beaten by her husband on a daily basis. Her friend finds out she is pregnant,and Galia asks her to run away together. Her friend refuses as her husband said he'd change. Galia confesses her husband was abusive too, and they never change,that's why she ran away,and left her daughter behind.

 

Galia is offered another job, to k!ll a woman named 'Barbie' to send a message. Galia doesn't want to k!ll women so she shoots her in the stomach,and Barbie survives. She is told to finish the job,she refuses, so they try to k!ll her.

 

I personally thought the movie was gonna be an action thriller, but the movie is drama,up until the end when it's got a bit of action. I didn't like it, it bored me, it's slow paced,nothing ever happens,it's just her befriending this woman,going shopping and cutting each other's hair,while making mistake after mistake with these men who kept her as their s3x slav3 for years,instead of putting them to rest.

 

The movie is very predictable, from the getgo I could see the end, and that's exactly how it ended!

 

Everything that happens to Galia in the movie is a consequence of her bad decisions and actions! She keeps on letting the bad guys get away,and they come back to either catch her or k!ll her!

 

The character is stupid and I hate stupid characters! She leaves and then comes back,into the apartment they gave her(!!!),knowing these evil men can come after her, which they do!

There's not much information on the character other than she had a daughter she keeps on thinking about-that she left behind- and an abusive husband.

 

The actors were good, the two leading ladies were beautiful.

 

The soundtrack was Ok.
