annoying little girl

I won't say the actress was annoying, but I think her character was either poorly written, poorly directed, or both. I really liked her character until the aftermath of the school-yard incident. Up to that point, she came off likable and then with uber respect after she calmly dropped the bully. So to that point all is well. But it's like there was a total disconnect between that street-smart well-trained kid--who brought even more credibility to Statham's character showing that he had taken the precautions of teaching his daughter to fight--to the whimpering helpless and confused "little" girl we see the rest of the movie.

Now that could be her inability to act, as the OP has said, or just poor writing or directing. No matter, it was ANNOYING. :)

Wrong the girl was great!

Actually I thought Izabela Vidovic was one of the highlights of the film. She acted in a very natural way, and showed different emotions quite well. She reminded me in a way of a young Dakota Fanning. Not in any physical way, but in the naturalness and quality of her acting. Dakota has kind of fallen off a bit lately, in my opinion, but was excellent in her earlier roles. I hope Izabela continues to show the same ability she did in "Homefront".

She has a recurring role on "About a Boy", in which she is very good, too. And she has been in quite a few other movies and TV shows. I see a very possible bright future for her.

Bottom line, I think you are 100% wrong in your assessment of her acting.
