Pretty bad...

First of all, could they have given her a worse hair cut during the court time period? WTF?

The defense lawyer personally coming to her house and offering her fuck off money? Really? And she didn't flag that to the court before the trial. Prove she was actually on the meds she was prescribed which apparently was the reason for throwing the case out. I take it it was all to show how dirty the judge was.

Everything was so predictable, from the dirty cop, to the good cop slipping her the handcuff key.

There's this big mural of her with guns for wings in in skid row, yet she appears to break into the gun shop later in the film and is only known as a gun toting vigilante from then on.

And perhaps my favourite, she has a skin stapler in her first aid kit, but no bandages...

Well I thought it was pretty good until reading what you had to say, goddammit lol
I just saw it a few days ago, and however good it was or wasn't, I can safely say that I'd pretty much forgotten it.
Also, the way the judge treated her...the victim, who'd witnessed her family get murdered...I don't know much about law, but that was pretty over the top...pretty unbelievable a sitting judge would act like that.

The court scene was the worst part for sure. Maybe they just wanted to rush through it but it was silly. And if they were going to show her getting revenge on anyone from the court case, it probably should have been the lawyer instead of the judge.

They said she had robbed a bank a few months before and when they're looking at the crime data they say that it had been dropping off in Skid Row in the past few months. So whatever she was doing there had already been taking effect before the mural. She must have just been "setting people straight" like she did with the alcoholic father on the bus.

Don't forget: she broke into the gun shop without covering her face for some convenient reason.
