Love the movie. Some parts were slow, but it made it up with the gun battles. And whoever decided to do the Split screen was amazing. I love that part of the movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to just watch. People shoot at each other for an hour and a 1/2 which I love when people shoot at each other. This is so cool this. Remind me to kind of like a cartoon movie. There wasn't a lot of blood but you knew people were getting shot so I reckon men this movie. This movie would be cool like a drive Em too. That way to drink and watch people. Shoott each other that be totally awesome. But o k I recommend this movie.
Watch "AMERICAN WOMAN" and brace yourself as a grieving woman's descent into madness grabs you by the throat and rarely lets go.
Molly Reese (Katelin Slack, "Evil Lurks," "Vic Effects") is a doctor whose entire family is killed in a car accident. Although consumed with grief, a twist of fate drives her to channel her rage into training herself to be a cold-blooded and highly efficient killer.
Everyone knows the Shakespearean quote "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" but this movie proves that in fact "Hell hath no fury like a woman grieving her family." And it is with a hellish fury that Molly begins to hunt down members of the local mob. (Why? Watch the movie, no spoilers here!) At times the movie plays like an art house film, as the cinematography becomes eerily hallucinogenic and pulls the viewer into the the mind of a killer psycho mama.
Katelin Stack is one of my favorite actors and this is definitely a bravura performance for her! I recognize several others in the cast whose work I've long admired: Joe Rosing, Larry Biela, and Stacey Miner chief among them. Add to that the film includes another exceptional performance from the always delightful Delilah Hefner! ("It Came From Somewhere," "Attack of the Corn Zombies.") Written & directed by Artie Siegel, who also plays a fascinating character called "Rat." Cinematography by another DP whose work I admire, Jeremy Applebaum who gives the film just the right look and feel which elevates the overall movie to a whole new level that is the primary reason the film works as well as it does.
Definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next from Mr. Siegel.

Wow!! American Woman left a big impression on me. The storyline was gripping and filled with unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. The emotional adrenaline was intense, coursing through my veins from start to finish. A truly great film! The lead actress delivered a phenomenal performance, and I'm eager to explore more of her work. I'm always osearching for films that get my blood pumping, and this one certainly did not disappoint. It's a new favorite, and I'm thrilled to discover more from this talented crew and similar films. I really enjoyed seeing a strong female character!!
American Woman 2025 delivers an emotionally potent thriller that begins with tragedy and evolves into an electrifying "GO GET IT GIRL" display of vengeance and resilience.
I enjoyed the creativity of how the story develops from a tragic incident that leaves Dr. Molly emotionally shattered but in deep survival mode.
As you watch it, the roller coaster of both grief and jagged strength of the main actress is cool. 1 minute you want to feel sorry for her, then your cheering for her to win-without ever losing the human truth at its core.
The best part is the film doesn't compromise on intensity, and I LIKE THAT. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

A boldly dark edge-of-your-seat thriller with a challenging female lead who meets the challenge with a carefully gauged descent into outright madness. At times serious, at times crazy funny, a busy visual feast for even the best of filmmakers, and especially challenging for a first time full length feature filmmaker striking out into a world of such heavy competition. But Artie Siegel doesn't shy away or veer from the seriousness of his well authored account, and that mature focus serves him and his film and its talented newcomer actors very well indeed, especially Katelin Stack who delivers a terrific performance carrying most of the often disturbing narrative. The hand held camera does a great job supporting the film's intensely conceived plot.
