Rating:  - Jodie does it again
Jodie has made a Aone DVD. It is different and very intriging. She does an excellent job in all her portrayals.
Rating: - Angel Of Death...
Jodie Foster (Taxi Driver, Silence Of The Lambs, Panic Room, Flight Plan) has really hit her stride w/ these thrillers.

Rating:  - A little confused by the ending
I liked most of this movie. A variation on the Charles Bronson movies of the 70's and 80's for revenge killings after a family member is killed. Jodi Foster does a great job as usual portraying a victim that fights back. And she is also vunerable as she exposes herself to danger in order to avenge those who can't or won't.
But the ending left me wondering a few things. As we know from television New York city has CSI investigators. If evidence is collected from a triple murder as it ... Read More
