Brave One

Pros: Foster, Howard, drama
Cons: Thriller elements weak

Jodie Foster is such an enigma. After her acclaimed performances in films like The Accused and Silence of the Lambs, it would seem that she should own Hollywood and have the best of the best blockbuster scripts in her hands as soon as they ...

Pros: Foster & Howard, Rousselot's cinematography, making-of-feature with interesting information
Cons: could be 10-15 minutes shorter or have more of Andrews and Steenburger

Jodie Foster is going to be 46 next month. If she's middle-aged what does that make someone who remembers her as a child in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and "Taxi Driver"? Sigh!Although she does not look her age, I thought she looked ...

Pros: Foster and Howard. Interesting take on the plot.
Cons: Mostly predictable. Violent at times.

Jodie Foster is a very talented actress and I have enjoyed many of her movies. I'm usually willing to see her new movies at least once and I've seen some of them several times. I was intrigued when I first saw trailers for her new movie The Brave ...

Pros: None
Cons: Everything

If you saw The Brave One and weren’t sure what to think of it, you should watch the Special Features on the DVD. Interviews with the cast and crew help to explain the point they were trying to make with this movie, and you’ll probably like it a ...

Pros:

Um, none.

Cons: Everything...

What in the world is going on with Jodi Foster Does she feel like a victim of life Since becoming a single mother her movies have taken a decidedly violent turn based in large part on being a victim; witness Panic Room (2002), Flightplan (2005). ...

Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a

While I don't advocate violence, or revenge, I certainly understand the premise of The Brave One< b>. It focuses on a relationship between David and his soon-to-be bride, Erica. Oh, yeah, and their dog. David is fairly successful, in he medical ...

Pros: Terrence Howard is solid as always
Cons: lame and unfocused screenplay, Foster is wasted yet again

Vigilante movies are becoming a new trend, and when you think about it, the whole thing makes perfect sense. In our post 9/11 world, there's no better way to calm a movie viewer's nerves than to give them two hours of raw, blood soaked justice. When ...

Pros: Jodie Foster turns in another outstanding performance.
Cons: The story is not new.

I remember as a teenager seeing all the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies. At about the same time that Charles Bronson was out killing bad folks for revenge, Jodie Foster was being rescued from her pimp by Travis Brickle (Robert DeNiro) in Taxi ...

Pros: Nicky Katt, professionally made
Cons: Repugnant, dishonest, dull, unoriginal, pretentious, disgusting ending

Jodie Foster plays a radio show host who is walking with her fiancé (Naveen Andrews, looking like he’d rather still be on that damn island) late one night when some thugs come along, injure Foster, and kill Andrews. Physically recovered, but ...

Pros: emotionally powerful, more thoughtful than Enough or Death Wish
Cons: the predictable plot of the revenge flick

The Brave One is a feminist Death Wish concocted for the post-9/11 world. Back in '74, when Charles Bronson roamed the earth, violent crime - especially the stuff reflected in A Clockwork Orange - was an itch so annoying people felt compelled to ...

Pros: Jodie Foster and Terence Howard are excellent.
Cons: The ending is a real head scratcher.

Directed By Neil Jordan. Written By Roderick Taylor and Bruce A. Taylor and Cynthia Mort Jodie Foster Erica Bain Naveen Andrews Dr. David Kirmani Terence Howard Detective ...

Pros: Decent Acting
Cons: slow, predictable.

Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard. Screenwriter Cynthia Mort, Neil Jordan, Roderick Taylor, Bruce A. Taylor The acting is solid in this film. Jodie Foster is no novice to the big Screen, and Terrence Howard has a unique personality that comes across ...

Pros: Plot
Acting
Camera Work
Cons: Ending was only OK

There are some movies that take a twisted turn into psychology. To be honest, I rather enjoy this because it gives depth to the character. With The Brave One, there are some performances you don't soon forget. Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) is a pretty ...

Pros: Jodie Foster shows how well she acts!
Cons: I found it a bit long with all the emotional angst.

I rented this movie (BRAVE ONE) and thought it was awesome.  Although it shows the angst of a female serial-killer (a vigilante! only a few killings were actually unjustified) she becomes one after she's beaten and her boyfriend is beaten to ...

Pros: Great thriller
Cons: none

found this film to be highly entertaining provided you like revenge flicks! I don't think it was trying to say anything to deep about the world we live in. It was purely fantasy and it was nice to have a vigilante film with a female this time. Jodie is ...
