Banshee (film)
Banshee is a 2006 American television drama film directed by Kari Skogland, starring Taryn Manning.[1] Following its TV premiere it had a DVD release in several countries.[2][3][4] PlotSage Rion, daughter of a deceased garage owner, is a professional car thief. The police know her, but have always failed to convict her. Due to her aptitude to elude the police she is notoriously known as "The Banshee". One day everything changes when she steals a distinct vintage car (a 66 Dodge Charger) right before a date. Lacking in concentration, she drops her ID card at the crime scene and doesn't realize it. After she has delivered the car to her fence she returns home only to find a threatening letter. The owner of the stolen car has kidnapped her lover and demands his car back. Sage brings the car back to the parking area where she stole it and hopes that her lover will be released in exchange. Instead, she finds in her flat two police officers and her lover's corpse. The police consider her the number one suspect and try to arrest her. She barely escapes and starts an investigation of her own. Hunted by police and by her furious fence, she tracks down the murderer, who turns out to be a serial killer. He has captured and is about to kill Sage's friend Brenna. She manages to save Brenna, only for the two to suddenly have to run for their lives. Cast
ProductionDue to the tight schedule Taryn Manning refused to be doubled for the stunts as she later confirmed in an interview.[5] ReceptionNew York Post's Linda Stasi considered the film "a new take on chick flicks" but described the story as "flawed".[6] Variety's Laura Fries dismissed the film as "ridiculous, exploitative and downright creepy".[7] David Johnson judged for "DVD Verdict" that Taryn Manning proved herself "more than capable" of carrying the film but he also objected the script as not completely logical.[8] References
