While Mayor Bloomberg will likely be unamused, the Joel Silver production still should pack considerable appeal for fall moviegoers who prefer their hard-hitting vengeance served with a hefty side of introspection.įoster turns in a compelling, emotionally raw performance as Erica Bain, the host of an NPR-type radio show titled “Street Walk,” in which she shares the recorded sounds and her live thoughts surrounding life in the Big Apple. Those considerable attributes go a long way in compensating for problematic plot mechanics that ultimately trip up the good intentions, especially in its portrayal of a New York that looks and behaves more like Charles Bronson’s old stomping grounds than its modern-day incarnation.
