a lot of good thing could have be do with this movie use essentially the same set and plot device and storyline . for example and why not plant a seed of erica capability before the murder of her lover . why not develop erica and the cop relationship slowly and convincingly . maybe contrast eric metamorphis by include some other post event facet and relationship and etc . and in her life that she now reject . why not have her injure an innocent bystander to underscore the wrongness in erica action . instead tbo exploit the revenge fantasy to it maximum level and give insincere lip service to the do not do this at home message throw in only to allow the film to qualify a legitimate . i be not a jodie foster fan . after display some range in film like silence of the lamb and nell and one where she play the ordinary mother of a child prodigy and foster have slip into a succession of role where she play the same hard bitten and badger heroine single handedly overcome evil . such be fine once or twice and but i be get too use to her fight versus flight close up . tbo could have use a young actress or one that more convincingly embrace be a woman in her forty ( instead of 40 something foster play a young woman ) . tbo be a movie with substantial actor and financing and resource that manage to descend to junk .
