FAQ

What is the music from the trailer?
I saw this movie and loved the song they played in the beginning and end but can't find it anywhere!! Anyone know what it's called? (Not the song from the trailer but in the actual movie.)

Really good acting, but the story is kind of standard, 26 August 2007
7/10
Author: tukan-1 from Sweden

I saw this film in a preview. It was the final production though. Jodie Foster is a great actress, I would give her 10 of 10 without hesitation. The story is a standard revenge-movie. But with Jodies amazing acting and a good director the standard story becomes interesting. It's like experience the whole thing through Jodies character. The bad guys gets a little bit stereotyped and shows almost no personalty other than violent temper. Well, it's easier to kill them then, I guess. The sens-moral of the film is "kill the bad guys". Yes, feels good on the white screen, but it would be the end of society if everybody did like these characters did. Jodie gets 10 and the story 5, so average is 7 which is my vote. Definitely worth watching.
