Seriously is this movie a joke? A helpless woman gets beaten and her helpless husband gets killed.
Then she buys a gun.
She's still a helpless woman but now she has a weapon, and then she gets all hardcore and rises above the American judicial system to take out her own brand of vigilante justice. She becomes strong, confident, powerful, and kills all the men who wronged her...all because she has a weapon? What is this movie trying to say, "hey girls! if you buy a gun nobody can do anything to you anymore!"
In the previews it's pretty much showing you clips of her with a gun, even the poster is her with a gun. I feel like this movie is more about the gun than this woman's story. She didn't do anything, didn't take any defense classes or get a brain transplant (to become smarter), or anything...she went to her local pawn shop bought some glock and BAM! now she's a dangerous, effective, killing machine.
And since when was bravery knocking on somebody's door in the middle of the night and then shooting them when they answer it? (As mostly seen in the previews) I dont know...this movie to me seems to appeal to those girls who are going to sit in the theatre and cheer, "woooo! you go girl!!" whenever she shoots a man.
This is just my guess, but I also get the feeling a lot of the men in the movie will be portrayed as basically rapists. Checking jodie out from across the room, making profane gestures or unwanted approaches, etc.
I am woman; hear me roar.
