great movie! really loved it!
Excellent...great storyline,and lots of action..Jodie Foster done an amazing job!!
Good acting but too long.
what a movie....if you take an amazing actress like Jodie Foster and put her in any kind of role,she`ll make that movie a triumph....this is the best example.....great acting and i couldn`t take my eyes off of Jodie....btw,Terrence Howard does a great job as well
well acted, good ending.
Great performances from Foster and Howard, but that's the only thing salvageable from this flic. Unbelievable ending. Wait for DVD.
The Brave One starts with a wonderfully intimate, intelligent voiceover by Jodie Foster in the character of Erica Bain. It was here that I realized the promise of this movie. As the story progressed, I realized just how inevitable everything felt - the words, the action, the characters, the relationships, the violence. I loved this movie. From one angle, the violence was pure poetry. But because of the subtlety and sophistication of this movie, it makes perfect sense that the majority would only rate it as one or two stars. Those who rate it five stars understand the underlying sense of inevitability that runs like a current through the entire movie right to the very end. Justice is served.
Slow in places. Some scenes that were not necessary. But overall good movie. Excellent acting by Jodie Foster. Hard to believe you can make sure a pretty women look so unpretty. Very suspensful with an excellent ending.
Its a sad, suspenseful, disturbing and very emotional its a truly unique thriller a must see.
Very intimate show. All the character's feelings are right in your face. Almost as if you were spying on them or at least the "fly on the wall". Great acting, great action, extremely personal violence and a right ending.
