Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

nzswanny QUICK REVIEW:Okay, maybe a 10 is a bit high, but the rating is unbelievably low! Painkiller Jane delivers an unoriginal movie about someone that gets exposed to a biochemical weapon that lets her have self-healing powers. The military tries to get her so they can cure her, but also wants to get her back under their security. Not too bad a plot, am I correct? Yes, however, it is predictable and the story is unoriginal. But that doesn't mean this is a bad movie! You won't like it if you hate cheesy movies, however, if you like cheesy movies, go grab some popcorn and enjoy this film! It's more of a cheesy popcorn movie, and it is a bit too fast paced a lot through out the movie. If this movie was a bit slower, I'd rate it a 6.6/10. But, because it's really fast paced, I rate it 6.2/10.Yep. That review sure was short. However, I'm a bit busy right now, so maybe I'll edit the review later.

Terryfan While I don't watch movies on SCI/FI Channel this one I watch out of boredom.To my surprise I actually found a movie on the SCI/FI Channel that got my attention from start to finish.Painkiller Jane is inspired by the comic book character of the same name.The plot centers on the protagonist Captain Jane Elizabeth Browning played by Emmanuelle Vaugier gets exposed to a biochemical weapon that sudden gives her super human powers as healing powers, speed, strength.She later discovers that they want to use her as a test subject which promotes her to escape and comes to see there was more troubles than she realizes.While the plot may not be the most original it is enough to hold the viewer attention. The music is interesting with some rock songs to help tell the story.Painkiller Jane was actually a film that kept my interesting which is a rare for the channel.While it may seem like another SCI/FI Channel film that is going to be a mess it actually was enjoyable.With a interesting enough plot you might enjoy it. I give Painkiller Jane a 7 out of 10

sjberke Nothing really imaginative, creative, or original about this movie, but well made and a very earnest effort to make you think as well as entertain you. Definitely avoided going for cheap scares or titillation. The earnestness of this effort is shown as much by what was not there as much as what was--there were no romantic/sexual scenes at all. Had this movie been the hackwork that 'ambrazos' would have you believe, we would have seen Jane tumble into bed with either Nick the thief or 'Dr. Knight' (maybe both). We didn't and that impressed me some.While the cast generally did well enough (and it certainly was good to see Roundtree again), I was really impressed by Vaugier. A very impressive presence, without being sexual or showing much skin. As an action heroine, I think she stands comparison with Jennifer Garner, maybe even Angelina Jolie All in all, a movie worth recording and watching (mostly because of Vaugier).

Ray Humphries Reasonable plot, sufficient suspense and misdirection. The premise is believable in a science fiction way. There are no fake monsters. There are no incredibly stupid moves by the heroine ineptly designed to create artificial tension, an amateurish plot technique that seems to be rampant even in network (e.g., "24") programs. Good role for great old Richard (Shaft) Roundtree. No really awful acting. Attractive heroine. There were no parts that were so slow or boring that I skipped ahead, and I would watch this again in a year or so. It is head and shoulders above most Sci Fi Channel fare. Clearly, I was pretty impressed.No, it's not Emmy caliber, but it is so much better than expected, I really can't understand what "ambrazos" is whining about in his review.
