| Jodie Foster is good, but the film is too close to Death Wish to suit me. Substitute her for Charles Bronson and what’s the difference? Essentially a remake.
| Jodie Foster has my vote for an Oscar nomination. She is just excellent in this film. From the outset I was moved; and immediately engaged with both her character and the storyline. Emotionally it is exhausting – I found my eyes tearing at the beginning, middle and end. A bit reminiscent of Demi Moore’s performance in Ghost. What a good movie!
