Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2006)

powerful,emotional,mind-blowing,courage,astounding,compelling,tough?
when i first saw monster at first i was shocked at the story and the performance because i've never known a story to be so powerful and yet so detailed and to top it all charlize Theron was the character of Aileen and i could not believe my eye's and what i had just saw?
Aileen was a woman who grew up in an abusive life and was beaten on a regular bases and would do things that at the age of 9 is coincided shocking but as the years go by Aileen becomes the woman magnet of every school boys fantasy she starts to sell her body and at the age of 13 she becomes a prostitute and begins to live out in the cold damp streets of Michigan and local woods and soon begins to kill her clients after one client attempts rape. to me after nearly being raped that triggers off a certain rage inside Aileen that she is showing us she will not allow another man to neither rape or beat her that she is willing to kill that client if need be in any case a string of murders are not far behind Aileen ? charlize Theron puts on the best performance on in her life and proves to every one that she isn't just a pretty face but a woman with a huge amount of talent and willing to go where no woman has gone before? monster is a tragic tale of love,hope and sadness, charlize has shown us all through her journey that Aileen had to be strong and wasn't allowed to be weak as she had Selby come along soon after Aileen didn't have the luxury of showing her emotions so we should all take into account that Alleen had it rough from birth to grave?
