Nicole Kidman appears to be trying to gain some street cred as wasted,edgy detective, Erin Bell. What Charlize Theron delivers in spades to these roles, Kidman lacks thel power and believable physical commitment to the necessary transformation.It's an admirable effort,but she doesn't quite have the tools.
Her choices, her look, her acting are as distracting as they are convincing.
The effect is the same as if Olivia Newton-John were to suddenly pop up as a detective on CSI. There'd be a credibitlity problem.
Add to that the numerous closeups of her character's bizarre looking make up and Nicole's 50 kg frame, she resembles a rather comical zombie, not a force to reckon with the low lifes that populate 'Destroyer'.
Supporting cast is commendable, the story meanders a bit, but as Nicole's movie, for all the effort she does make, she and the movie don't nail it.
