'Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon' tells the story of how Mona Lee (Jeon Jong-seo) escapes a mental asylum using her psychokinetic powers and ventures into New Orleans. Mona meets Bonnie (Kate Hudson), a stripper with a heart of tarnished gold, who takes her in, but after a series of bizarre easy-money encounters, Officer Harold (Craig Robinson) takes an interest in returning Mona to the hospital.
Decently shot and acted! Mona is essentially a blank persona influenced by her surroundings, which is engaging to see how her character evolves throughout the story. The flow is decent, but where the faults lie is in the script and the plot - they really don't go anywhere. Mona's origin (why she is in the mental home to begin with), the significance of the moon, and why some supporting characters are even written in makes the culmination of the film a bit of a curiosity.
Worth a once over.
