Distaff Death Wish, though it would not be strictly accurate to say that Jodie Foster is playing Charles Bronson. The emphasis is on her psychological wounds after her fiancé is beaten to death and she herself beaten to death's door -- setting up a take-back-the-night feminist revenge story -- and the whole thing is acted and directed (by Neil Jordan) with a high seriousness not borne out by the potboilerish plotting. The motif of ruptured relationships -- the heroine, the cop, two congruent cases of uxoricide -- implants some emotional backbone. Terrence Howard, Mary Steenburgen, Naveen Andrews. (2007) — Duncan Shepherd
