REVIEWS

Review by David E. Screws (posted on 29-Sep-2007)

Foster's portrayal of Erica Baines is phenomenal; a woman consumed by her tremendous loss to the point that she takes the law into her own hands. Baines is obviously aware that her actions are wrong, but she cannot stop them because she possesses the weaknesses of most of us human beings. Any of us who have not lived through such an experience cannot completely identify with Baines, but we secretly urge her onward in her mission. At the least, this role should be another Oscar nom for Foster. She clearly held the audience spellbound. Possibly even a supporting role nomination for Mercer, who managed to convince the audience that he would never cross the line between right & wrong, but does so in the end. To top things off, Jodie Foster is still one of the most gorgeous actresses on screen today, and her skillful portrayal of the besieged Erica Baines is nothing short of riveting.
