Yawn. I love Jodie Foster, but what was she thinking when she signed on for this dud? It starts out promisingly enough, but once she's packing heat, she stumbles into one bloodbath after another. Lame.

This was the second film I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival and was HORRIBLY disappointed. Like so many films, I sat through the whole film hoping for redemption. Never arrived.

Like so many films, I sat through the whole film hoping for redemption. Never arrived. I truly like Jodie Foster and have higher expectations of her. A star of her caliber could be making great films. Gratuitous violence in a film that adds nothing new.… Expand

If you have a half dozen events, all of which are at least 1000-1 odds of happening, you have a story which could never happen. That's what we have here.

Good acting only accentuates the pretentious bad taste and stupidity of this movie. Completely fails as a Deathwish revenge fantasy; even worse if you take it half as seriously as it wants to be taken. Don't waste your time with this one.

Alors, c'est la femme de Charles Bronson qui décide de faire le ménage à New York, "la ville la plus sûre au monde" (lol et sic) parce que c'est vrai qu'il y a toujours du ménage à faire et de la justice à rendre. Et comme le Juge Dredd n'estAlors, c'est la femme de Charles Bronson qui décide de faire le ménage à New York, "la ville la plus sûre au monde" (lol et sic) parce que c'est vrai qu'il y a toujours du ménage à faire et de la justice à rendre. Et comme le Juge Dredd n'est pas là, il faut bien que quelqu'un s'en occupe...

Jodi Foster est impliquée et se donne du mal mais c'est tellement mal écrit, mal développé, si peu vraisemblable qu'on y croit pas pas plus d'une minute... Il faut dire qu'elle est entourée d'acteurs à la masse qui ont encore plus de mal à se dépêtrer d'un scénario qui nous prend pour des jambons ; le flic notamment est aussi mauvais que le personnage bidon qu'il est censé incarner, ce qui n'arrange rien.

Le film souffre en outre de longueurs récurrentes et passe les trois quarts du temps complètement à côté de son sujet... tout cela est très superficiel derrière une volonté affichée de creuser la psychologie de notre justicière dans la ville... cette dernière reste le cul entre deux chaises à essayer de singer un certain Raskolnikov... en vain.

Enfin, la fin atteint un sommet dans le cliché et termine le film dans le ridicule le plus complet. N'en jetez plus, la coupe est pleine.… Expand
