Sympathy For The Devil?
I have mixed feelings after watching this movie. Of course the lowlifes who rape Jennifer should have been tracked down and dispatched. However, it's HOW she does it and WHAT she does that is unnecessarily cruel. Jennifer's heart reveals itself to be as dark as the lowlifes who raped her. I could easily see her being one of their gang (if she were a man). At first I was 100% FOR HER, but later "found the needle" sliding a bit the other way. That scene where she "cuts below the belt" and then goes downstairs and turns up the stereo to drown out the screams struck me as weird and cruel. Also, WHY does SHE also use her body to get even? She gets "even" but she commits murder to do it. Last time I checked, murder was against the law.If the police knew she did these things she would arrested for murder. WHY does she never call or go the police? On one level I understand her, on another I don't. Sorry, but she ends up coming off as unstable, cruel and again not unlike the lowlifes. Sympathy for the devil????? well, just maybe.
