Jordan turned this revenge thriller to his own uncompromising ends, following NYC radio personality Jodie Foster’s unsettling journey from battered and bruised crime victim to gun-toting urban vigilante.

An obvious companion piece to Angel, it leaves the audience to pass judgment on her increasingly extreme actions, and indeed their relevance for America’s on-going firearms debate. Terrence Howard almost out-shines his brilliant leading lady as the investigating cop trying to keep the faith, but no-one here will emerge morally unscathed. Visceral and disturbing, this could well be Jordan’s most under-rated film.
