Hits

• Ellen Page. A gamut of emotions from this boyish actress. Terrific talent

Misses

• It is hard to believe that a 14 yr old puny girl on her own, can inflict so much torture on a well built 32 yr old man
• After her mission is accomplished, she just walks away from the scene without any fuss or difficulty when we actually hear a police siren in the background

VERDICT

In this movie, Ellen Page does what macho heroes do i.e. retribution. Her pure talent makes this movie watch-able.
