I never read the Painkiller Jane comic book, but I read a review of this movie that said it was OK. So I watched it. I have to say I was a little bored, though. The actors are not bad, but the story was not very well told, lacked depth and action, and fizzled out with a very poor climax at the end. There were practically no stunts, no martial arts, nothing resembling superhero-style action.
The woman who played Painkiller Jane was fairly charismatic, however, and convincingly portrayed an army captain. I kept thinking how much she resembled Evangeline Lilly (Kate from "Lost"), body-type-wise. This would have been a true eye-candy experience if Lilly had played the lead character, but the other actress was a fair substitute. Too bad she didn't really have much to do.
