Terrible Movie

It wasn't terrible, but the whole thing felt very cliche and obvious. Anyone who's ever seen a few films in this genre could practically see every plot point coming, and the film was INCREDIBLY heavy-handed about its themes and subtext. The narration practically spelt out all of Erica's inner thoughts and emotions, leaving little room for interpretation. The film is also a little too black-and-white with its characters. Erica is unrealistically naive and wholesome about New York at the start, acting as though it's the beep Land of Oz. The film does have some good performances from the two leads and it does pick up at the end as it is fun to watch Jodie Foster become Charles Bronson, hunting these guys down like a badass and the overall ending and climax is satisfying, but that's not enough to save an entire movie. Overall, meh.

It's a s-h-i-t-t-y movie (well hey that's just me, don't get your panties in a twist). Cliche and predictable. Dragging at times. But still a watchable movie. Not really enjoyable but I don't feel like I wasted my time watching it either. Most definitely won't watch it again though.

It is a revenge fantasy. It is supposed to be a cathartic exercise for the victims of crime, and people who hate crime and criminals. It is not supposed to be a "How to" for how to be a good person.
No, it is not a great movie. But it is good and it is done well. And Jodie Foster is a great actress.
