What makes it different from others?

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Absolutely brilliant

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I'm happy for Katie Holmes that she got a role, that might seem one sided or one dimensional on the outside, but is actually pretty meaty on the inside. And she has fun playing that character obviously. Unfortunately the movie or rather the script itself is not so good. It can't keep up with the pace and quality of the character.It's a weird movie nonetheless and it's very violent while innocent looking. If you don't mind that split, which actually makes the difference to other movies, you will enjoy this. It's not about being right (though you couldn't argue the values), but about how or if one should act upon those values ... Not that the movie will leave you thinking too much ... It's supposed to be entertainment after all

i've never reviewed a movie on IMDb before. i review them on my facebook page when i feel the urge, but i'm supremely unqualified to do so. although what the qualifications would be, i don't exactly know.first, let me say that black comedy is a category which seems to impact me and stick to me longer than nearly any other genre. and i'm a sucker for the unreliable narrator as well and they usually go hand-in-hand.when i say this movie was brilliant, i have no proof of it, no one single detail which would qualify it, but i do know it held me enthralled from beginning to end. and yes, there were a couple of rough patches where i thought the script sort of wandered off track, but then, i didn't write it, so it might well have been exactly what they intended and that one scene or two or an exchange of dialogue just didn't resonate with me.i completely understand this genre is not for everyone and the comedy goes right over the heads of many people--too many things seem to do so these days.i apologize for the wandering 'review', but i just think it deserves 2-3 stars more than the IMDb is showing as the average. don't let the slightly low rating keep you from watching it./guy

If you like your films interesting and with some unsettling moment, you will enjoy this film. It has some suprizing plot and character depth, and it is beautifully shot and well acted. A much better film than its rating who have you believe, probably the most interesting film I have seen this year. Katie Holmes is perfect as the eponymous heroine, her acting was very good, and at time very disturbing. The rest of the cast quite excellent too. A pleasant mix of genres, but broadly a black comedy; although there are a number of uncomfortable uneasy scenes. Do take some time to settling in and watch this carefully, not really a popcorn movie for the kids.

The combination of delightful dark comedy and female vigilante is a success. The tone is quite consistent throughout and it's enjoyable because the humor lightens the dark situations. The story is quite well written with a good explanation of her character and a satisfying feel good conclusion that makes sense. This movie avoids the pitfalls of other vigilante movies that are Tarantino violent or take themselves too seriously. It's almost laugh out loud funny as she encounters the gamut of predators including the neighborhood drive by child abductor, the mass shooter, the predatory priest, the sex offender released into the community.Katie Holmes plays the title role with charm and makes her quaint manners and outfits work. This character could have been annoying but she isn't. She looks just a bit wrinkly sometimes.Worth watching.
