    Heartwrenching start

     by  lovetatts

    What can one say about another great movie with Jodie Foster.
    I have never been a big fan of hers but am definitely noticing more of her work as being great and untarnished.
    This movie started great, ended great.
    Made me appreciate a little more what I have in my life.
    Very intense.

    I really liked this movie.

     by  kevvo88

    I thought Jodie was great in it. Very suspenseful. Especially at the end. "I want my dog back." All in all a definite must see. 5/5.

    Jodi Foster is great!

     by  cjtolmie

    Jodi Foster kicked butt in this film as did her co-stars. Well acted and scripted, the ending was very satisfying. Really makes you think about human nature and what you might do if you are put in this situation. Good Film.

    Excellent!

     by  cornandcaramel_athemovies

    This was the best movie I have seen all year. The acting was superb, and the director offered a different climate and pace by illuminating what fear can drive us to do. This movie was not about seeking justice, but rather coming to terms with immobilizing fear and facing our personal demons. I loved it!!

    Great movie with surprise ending.

     by  RobynPlusOne

    I basically went to this movie because my brother loves Jodie Foster. Didn't go in expecting anything. But I came out with a new appreciation for both Jodie Foster's and Terrence Howard's acting abilities. Also, the music was brilliant--not intrusive, yet it contributed to the action (or lack thereof) as needed.

    I originally stated that the movie was very well-written, evenly paced, and overall cinematography was excellent. But upon reflection, I remembered several situations in which a real New Yorker would never find him/herself. I also remembered the unneeded sex scenes between Foster's character and her boyfriend. They added nothing to the rest of the story (we already knew they loved each other).

    Overall a good movie--just make sure that you *really* suspend your disbelief before going in.

    Great, strong character.

     by  MrsPruitt

    You cheer for her all the way! Her struggle is touching and the story is believable. The cop surprises you in the end and it's great.

    Slow to go, but gets there eventually

    Low budget set that has a obessive woman driven to kill all wrong doers, including those who killed her fiance. She suceeds, but not without the help of an african american detective who seems to be attracted to her. Movie is slow going and the ending not too realistic.
