Excellent

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2004)

Not for the squeamish, this is a brutal portrayal of Aileen Wuomos, a Florida prostitute executed for the serial murders of 7 men. Charlize Theron pulls no punches as the homeless hooker turned killer, who finds true love with her dysfunctional lesbian friend, Selby (Christina Ricci). Theron manages to impart much humanity to this truly unlovable woman. She almost has you believing that Aileen was just defending herself over and over and over again. There's Oscar written all over her performance.
