The Brave One Review by Pete
Watched this Friday the 14th of sept....a very good movie with an excellent plot...but be forewarned, be prepared for a full two hours of movie watching. Not that this is a bad thing. The film takes the time to show how a woman living in New York City "reacts" to a life-changing brutal attack on her and her fiance'...Of course it shows how the good and bad side of what a police investigation unfolds, the stages of recovery for a now mentally shattered woman, the relationship that forms between her and one of the detectives in charge, and finally revenge, oh sweet revenge.
The film makers include not only dirt-criminal types who get the "grudge", but also a high-end dirty excecutive type who gets his as well. I must admit, Jodi Foster's character grew on me as the movie went on, and there were times when people were actually clapping when the "bad guys" got "popped."
A bizarre ending (even fido gets saved) left me smiling...so would i see it again? sure, once its out on dvd!! prb
