| L: naomi I already set up a review post on this sp; I'm sure your review post might well be one of the greatest things on the entire world wide web - but you don't work for Empire. Their reviews are the reviews that kickstart the main thread for each film. Not intention of seeing this, for one reason and one reason alone. It has the single shittest title in cinema history. ...

| Gripping and Shocking. | |
| What a sad tale of one woman's struggle to fight bad guys from the death of her boyfriend, no-one helps her she has to do it alone. Jodie Foster is a really good actress, I don't care if she's lesbian, she can really hold the scene and make you believe her with her sadness and the shock of killing someone. The love between her and the cop was very true, I wished that they got together in the end but they ruined it with a stupid one. But in all, very good. ... More | |

| If it weren't for Foster and Howard firing on all cylinders this film wouldn't even have registered. If has nothing new to say, is nihilistic and ultimately pointless. It really is just another Deathwish but with a woman. It's like Daniel Day Lewis and Scorcese remaking Shoot Em Up; great talent on a one-dimensional genre movie we've all seen before. ... More | |

| What is it with these leanings toward emo stylings every time characters go a bit 'loopy' First Spidey now Jodie is adopting the black eyeliner. Far better than other similar dirge like Death Sentence though. ... More | |

| RE: brave- one star | |
| I thought this was a poor film. Foster is getting decent notices for her performance but I didn't think she was great. In fairness she had some awful dialogue to get through and the flimsy plot has too many holes to bother mentioning. It brought absolutely nothing new to the 'revenge' film and I was disappointed Jordan didn't do something a little different with it. Also, I know Terrence Howard is reckoned to be a decent actor but everything I've seen him in his who... More | |

| RE: brave- one star | |
| Beyond the acting skills of Howard and Foster, there is really nothing to recommend in this film. It was way too long and Fosters motivations were weak. She conveniently has no family to console her through her grief and you don't really get much of a sense of what she feels when she is in vigilante mode. Very, very ordinary. ... More | |

| RE: brave- one star | |
| Really liked this film. It doesn't really have much to 'say', as it were but I really enjoyed seeing Jodie Foster going about, kicking the shit out of some baddies. In this day and age, when we all watch the terrible events on the news and would love to take matters into our own hands, or when we witness people in our own lives who we wish afterwards we'd stood up to, it's nice to use cinema-as-escapism to join Foster as she headbutts and shoots her way through the scum of New ...

| brave- one star | |
| Revenge movies these days are ten-a-penny, with the likes of Death Sentence, and Outlaw released in the last year. Although those movies had their faults, they at least spat anger and hate at society, and seemed to believe in what they were doing; The Brave One, is a lethargic, redundant affair. Foster plays DJ Erica Bain who, after suffering a gang attack that killed her fiance, takes to the streets to exact revenge on the scum that stalk the city. On the case is dedicated detective Mercer (How... More | |

| Fairly routine and derivative. The action scenes are very well handled though and gripping at times with the tension built up and held well. Jodie Foster lacks presence and charisma on the big screen and the film ends up feeling light weight. ... More | |
