They are heavily armed, ruthless and easily outman her, but
when a nobody of a young woman, named Pearl (brilliantly played by Dana Patton
in her film debut … she also co-wrote the script), decides to take on the drug
lords and their minions it is anything but a fair fight.
Not since Paul Kersey decided to
single-handedly clean up the streets of New York City in 1974’s Death
Wish, starring Charles Bronson, have New Jersey and New York seen
anyone quite like Pearl.
Indican Pictures has selected June 9 as the DVD release date
for writer/director Guy Patton’s Pearl the Assassin.
Her motivations are revealed in backstory flashbacks as she
works her way through the drug gangs that left her for dead. She’s a nobody, just another victim in a
meaningless crime … but she’s a nobody with the heart and courage of a tiger
and she’s out for revenge.
She spares the life of Erik (Scott Morales — Jersey
Shore Massacre), a meth-maker for the mob, in exchange for his help in
reaching the inner-circle of the drug-dealing organization that reached out and
changed her life forever. It’s a
partnership that is all one-sided, he provides information (and remains useful)
and she takes care of business … they get the exact same measure of mercy that
they showed her.
As with Kersey so many years ago, the police, in the form of
Detective John Wyatt (George
Morafetis — Limbo, The Shore, Shutterbug, etc.) and his
sidekick “Trunks” (Johnathan Fernandez — Director’s Cut, Let’s Make a Movie), have
mixed feelings about Pearl.
Yes, it is
their job to track this vigilante down, but they sure do admire her work!!!
