Warner Bros will be banking principally on her name and the sensational revenge elements to build the film's standing with audiences. Attempting to hit the same hot buttons as other audacious studio movies like Falling Down or Foster's 20 year-old The Accused, it starts well but falls down fast as its plot becomes far-fetched and then spirals into the ethically dubious action genre associated with its producer Joel Silver.įoster's name has proved one of the most consistently bankable in the business, especially in thrillers which she carries single-handedly like Flightplan and Panic Room which both took more than $200m worldwide. Jodie Foster delivers a performance far superior to her material in Neil Jordan's self-consciously provocative and largely absurd vigilante drama - which has its world premiere as a Special Presentation in Toronto.
