  • Reviews

    "...the working model yields unintentionally to campy dialogue dipped in overwrought performances. Or maybe the procrastinated context is deliberate. Either way, the result still remains that Jane is cornier than Thanksgiving."MaximMaxim: Painkiller Jane Review

    "So the main reason to tune in to Painkiller Jane is to see the lovely Ms. Loken cut up, riddled with bullets, thrown out of tall buildings and otherwise abused each week, suffering but then recovering. Misogynists and sadists, this is the show for you."New York TimesNew York Times: Giving All for Her Country... (April 13, 2007)
