OK this movie probably doesn't really deserve a 7, but I love Jodie Foster and she always puts her heart into every role she does. Terrence Howard is also excellent and is starting to get pretty high on my list of actors that really know how to craft a character.
This movie is really just another Death Wish told in a slightly different way. No, wait a minute, I guess if you go and kill the bad guys and you aren't 007, you are breaking the law. Jodie is beat senseless and her fiance is killed in the opening scene. She survives and decides not to be a victum any more. Boy doesn't she. She turns into a kick ass, gun toting, black leather jacket wearing, killing machine. (I don't think I'm giving too much away unless you haven't looked at the poster for the movie.)
Kevin Bacon's Death Sentence came out earlier this year and beat Jodie's film to the theaters. This movie is a lot better than Bacon's. The acting is better and the characters are ones that you can connect to easier. If you like action movies that focus on revenge and don't mind a high body count along the way, you will like this movie. No one will win an Academy Award in this one, but it is pretty fun to watch.
