Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2007 film directed by Neil Jordan.Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) is a confident, content, reasonably left-wing radio host, madly in love with the city of New York and her fiancée David (Naveen Andrews). Sadly, he is killed and she is beaten within an inch of her life by a gang of thugs in Central Park one night. Emotionally shattered and incapable of feeling safe in the city she once adored, Erica buys a gun and attempts to move on. Fate has other plans, however, as she begins to encounter situation after situation that leave her with no choice but to blow somebody away. As the reputation of the mysterious vigilante begins to rise, Erica is torn between genuine disgust at her reluctant actions and the savage pleasure of dealing out first-hand justice to the blatantly deserving.A touching and painful female variation of the well-known Vigilante Man subgenre (Taxi Driver, Death Wish).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Actor Allusion: Jodie Foster plays a vigilante woman out for revenge in a city gone wrong. Her first big role was in Taxi Driver, where Robert De Niro plays a vigilante man out for blood in a city gone wrong.

Abhorrent Admirer: When Erica's show is turned into a call-in show, with the first topic about the vigilante, one of them, a woman, talks about how she finds the vigilante sexy. Erica hangs up on her.
