PodBill Just what I expected

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Smoreni Zmaj Brutal drama. Story is similar as in "I Spit on Your Grave", but instead of brutal horror manner, it's done as mainstream drama. Jodie Foster is expectedly excellent. Movie blurs the line between good and evil in a way that will appeal both to mainstream audience and fans of brutal horrors.8/10

Andres-Camara This movie is a great adrenaline rush. Because I've put a nine, so many critics have suspended it. It is not the law of the jungle, at all, that misunderstood. If we asked people on the street, no one would, but everyone would agree that we must do it.I usually like this director because his characters are always very liberal and that is very badly seen today, especially in Europe.The movie itself is no wonder, but when you see it you can not stop thinking that justice has been done. You have a good taste, but of course, it's a movie.From the posters, to the movie, the actors are very well. As Jodie Foster is changing her way of being. As the policeman assumes a cost because he thinks he deserves it.Photography, not that I count a lot, is normal. The address is neither more nor less than normal. It entertains, simple plans, but if it takes well.In short is one of those films that does not back down at the end of the film and leaves us with that joy that did not leave me much.

bkoganbing The Brave One casts Jodie Foster as an iconoclastic radio talk show personality kind of modeled on Allison Steele from the 70s and 80s who has a normal happy life with boyfriend Naveen Andrews and their dog. One night a gang of thugs in Central Park kidnap the dog, molest her and kill Andrews not necessarily in that order. The experience changes her into a Charles Bronson Death Wish type vigilante avenger.After Foster buys a gun more as a feel good type of protection should she need it she has occasion to use it after she witnesses a murder and then kills the murderer. It gets easier each time as the cool ruler of the night air becomes a relentless stalker of the evil. A rather stupid encounter at the scene of one homicide with the detective on her case Terrence Howard sets his investigative antennae in her direction. But Howard has an interesting agenda of his own and in the end all the loose ends are tied and Foster still has her own demons to deal with.Second Amendment fans will no doubt cheer this film on just as they did with Charles Bronson's Death Wish series. Since the last century Foster has had some interesting personal projects, not as quirky as some of Johnny Depp's work, but still personal as in artistic. The Brave One is personal, but hardly artistic. Enough blood and gore to satisfy action fans and a ringing feminist message for the female members of the audience. It won't be rated as one of Jodie Foster's best films.

cartoonheart45 The brave one was a success for me; it was irritating at some points, exciting at others points. It had what a crime movie should have. The main character was quiet gloomy and dark which made it interesting and attractive. Her strength made her look like a hero while committing crimes whether for the best of the humanity or for an individual matter. Let's put aside the legal matters, the movie was imposing some questions: are those people worth getting our hands dirty for or should we leave it until justice intervenes? This movie made it look like we're watching some super hero movie. The entire movie focused on the powerless police members who find themselves jobless with this woman stealing the lights. The detective was kind of falling in love with this new justice. It was fair enough for everyone; at some point he knew she was the one responsible of the mess and left her some encouragement notes. The movie had a really good aim. It showed how dirty can get the relationships in different part of the world even in the safest places and how unfaithfulness and disbelief that there's a higher power that's responsible for giving or taking lives and leaving judgments. Besides, it drew the lines of the current political situation making us realize that what's shown in the movie is exactly what's lived in real life structuring the interactions between the states. Who's playing the dark lady taking control of justice? Who's playing the blindfolded detective? The movie had great metaphors and some sarcastic images. Playing God won't guide to anywhere. The end was gloomy itself because there's two roads left after getting the new born killing sick machinery whether confessing the whole crimes or continuing the crimes until she'll get caught. I don't believe that she'll be getting some help to get back to her old life because she seemed quiet convinced of what she were getting her hands in. The perfect end was to leave it that way. Although it was a little disappointing because I was waiting impatiently to see if she'll get what she deserves at the end.
