About this movie

"Why don't they stop me?" Erica Bain wonders. Bain, a popular radio host, watched her fiancé die and nearly lost her own life in a vicious, random attack. Now she is a stranger to herself, an armed wanderer in the urban night, ridding New York of the thugs she sees at every turn. And no one, it seems, can stop her. Two-time Academy Award® winner Jodie Foster as Erica and Academy Award® nominee Terrence Howard as a dogged cop with his own psychic wounds to heal join director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game) and producers Joel Silver (The Matrix trilogy) for this jolting, high-tension thriller that has a lot on its mind. And a gun in its hand. MPAA Rating: R

Sometimes the old vigilante movies are nothing but a chance to drill holes in people's heads and the plot is never very deep. This is everything you could wish for. It's poignant, touching and well acted. The effort to show the inner monologue of Foster's character is not unnoticed and is conveyed in an intelligent and creative way. Well worth a watch or 5...
