Terrible Movie

- Yes the period "joke," and FYI PMS is a lot more dangerous, so be warned, O Bearded one.
- Unless you saw a completely different movie, the dog re-appears and she is delighted to see it, but can't make a lot of noise about it because of the dangerous situation. As far as her talking about it in between, people might find it odd that she was torn up over the dog when her fiance has just been murdered. She might also be a little ambivalent about the dog, since it was the reason they didn't try to escape.
- Again, you must have seen a very edited version, because the guy pushed the knife against her face, then ran it down her neck to her chest, and then asked,"Have you ever been raped with a knife?"
Except for the final revenge killings and the guy the detective told her about who was ruining people's lives and getting away with it, the other killings were done in self defense.

'2. The dog was only the hook that kept the heroine and her fiance from trying to run away from the punks. The punks were out to rob, with beating and killing thrown in for fun. "
-That's exactly my point. They're so attached to the dog that they go after him instead of leaving the dangerous situation. Then the dog disappears and she never mentions it again. So was she attached to it or not? The movie doesn't know so how are we supposed to?
I think compared to losing your fiance the dog takes 2nd place.
"3. She shot the guy on the train because he had a knife on her face, neck and chest and was threatening to rape her with it "
-Interesting, my version just showed them taking the ipod, talking to her for a second (no knife or rape talk or anything) then she shoots them both. Must have seen a weird version or something.
Your version? Oh please!
Your version didn't say "Ever been f!cked by a knife?"?
Well if your inferior "version" missed stuff out, you shouldn't be commenting on it until you have seen the proper movie.

I really don't get all the bashing. This was a really good movie.
I mean, put yourself in her situation for a second. You wake up from a coma and realize that your fiancee was killed by a bunch of thugs who are still out there somewhere, free.
You're life is entirely screwed up. You're too scared to even leave your house for weeks. Then you see thugs in the subway and you snap.
Does that harm society, as long as you only kill thugs? Don't think so.
Those animals didn't deserve to live after what they've done, since they didn't act human in the first place.
If I would have been in her situation, I would have done the same thing, but put all of them through hell first. I mean, what's there left to lose?
I don't intend to sound like a psycho, but I really think that most of the reviewers never bother trying to put themselves in her shoes for a second.
They just shoud out "don't take the law into your own hands!"
If that would have happened to YOU, would you REALLY listen to that advice?
I seriously doubt it. -

just because you can put yourself in a person's situation doesn't make it a good movie! that has nothing to do with it, that just suggests that the basis for the story is a good one. The acting was hammy, the situations were extremely unlikely - so many crimes in one week?! and jodie fosters face and husky voiceover did my head in all the way through - I walk the streets blah de blah! the only bit that was even slightly interesting was the clever use of the dog to drag them over and attack them, although any sane person would have run away when they had the chance! seriously though, i think it needs to be looked at as a movie, not just as a story, it doesn't make it good just because you can relate to the characters motives. It was still rubbish in my opinion!! plus i kind of agree with the 14 year old girl on her period thingand i'm a woman!

"just because you can put yourself in a person's situation doesn't make it a good movie!"
No but it helps.
"The acting was hammy"
yes, in your opinion
"the situations were extremely unlikely"
It's fiction dear. Just because the situation is unlikely doesn't make it a bad story.
"it was rubbish in my opinion"
And we've done a full circle.
"plus i kind of agree with the 14 year old girl on her period thingand i'm a woman!"
I didn't read that comment but I imagine a women who had her boyfriend murdered by thugs might be a tad pissed off.

It might help sometimes but if you read the original post i was replying to you would see they were using it is a reason for it being a good movie and i don't think that is enough of a reason to call a movie good.
"it's fiction dear. Just because the situation is unlikely doesn't make it a bad story"
it was fiction based in reality, therefore it has to at least be possible or likely in real lifein my opinion!
ps i think we should never watch movies together -

I dunno, I think it could be quite an interesting experience. It would certainly make for some interesting conversation.

I liked it but could understand somebody calling it mediocre. "Terrible" is an overstatement imho. I had the same thought of the number of crimes she came acrossn being unrealistic, but then it was as if she were deliberately placing herself in those situations. And I did have a time in my life when I got ripped off three times in a week's time, so it can happen.

Yes, so he's going to look the other way and let this female serial killer/vigilante continue? Shes probably got a taste for killing now. Crime is still crime - especially murder, irrespective of who commits it!

I think seeing the video changed his heart about busting her. He knew whatever "justice" she got couldn't make up for the brutality of what she suffered.
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!! -

I agree with the OP. ALso in the end the cliche movie magic: he turns up at the exact right moment at the very place she fled to (ran to). Unbelievable that he shot someone "for her". Semi romantic bravado nonsense. And a little wrong. No?
They may have opted for a "feel" Taxi Driver mixed with the 25th Hour. But failed. Those two mentioned are terrific movies.
