The Brave One, 2007


THE BRAVE ONE
Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard

CRIME DRAMA THRILLER

Erica Bain, a New York Radio host, is the victim of a senseless attack which leaves her hospitalized in a coma and her fiance dead. When she comes to, she endures a lengthy period of reclusion.

Her first outing is met with new and strange sounds, her radio show now exhibiting a noticeably darker tone. Her outlet is a nightly taste of vengeance that leaves a trail of blood and a veteran cop puzzled and looking for answers.






The Good : An artistic take on the vigilante character, some interesting cinematography, a good attempt at blending several genres.

The Bad : Gets a little too ideal, predictable. Some poorly chosen cliches that could have been more flushed out. The movie tries to be too many things, master of none.

-6/10
