It's a pity this film has such a stupid finale since it wasn't bad at all; it belongs to the "revenge thriller" genre but develops also a strong personal drama. Leading actors parts are really well rounded, Terence Howard is really suitable for his role and Jodie Foster is not a surprise anymore. The movie tells a story of a woman struggling to recover (physically and psychologically) from a brutal attack and finding a reason to live in the revenge; as said, this vigilante drama turns ludicrous for the implausible and unbelievable ending but, aside from that, the story makes sense overall. It's quite easy for the viewer to identify himself with the victim, also when she becomes a ruthless killer. To sum up, both the main characters show pathos and their chemistry works, so would say it's a an enthralling story.
