Eerie and unforgettable, MS .45 is an essential snapshot of New York City in the early 1980s from director Abel Ferrara (DRILLER KILLER, THE ADDICTION) — one of the most unique living filmmakers on the planet. Thana (Zoë Tamerlis) is a garment worker who has had the ultimate bad day, as she is assaulted twice in visceral fashion. Shocked to her core, Thana spends her nights on vengeful prowls through the city that result in men winding up on the wrong end of a bullet. Knocking the DEATH WISH rip-off subgenre into a new stratosphere, MS .45 showcases a haunting performance from Tamerlis and displays Ferrara's knack for transforming limited resources into genre revolutions.
