''I always believed that fear belonged to other people. Weaker people. It never touched me. And then it did. And when it touches you, you know... that it's been there all along. Waiting beneath the surfaces of everything you loved.''

A woman struggles to recover from a brutal attack by setting out on a mission for revenge.

OK this movie probably doesn't really deserve a 7, but I love Jodie Foster and she always puts her heart into every role she does. Terrence Howard is also excellent and is starting to get pretty high on my list of actors that really know how to craft a character.

This movie is really just another Death Wish told in a slightly different way. No, wait a minute, I guess if you go and... read more

A radio host (Jodie Foster) witnesses her fiance's death and is left for dead. When she comes back to, she gradually sets out to get revenge on her fiance's killers.

It's about time a female character in a movie is shown taking revenge and justice in her hands. Sorry for all the people out there that did not enjoy the movie because they didn't think Foster's character was realistic.... read more

"Critics: 43% Audiences: 65% Consensus: Magnetic by between Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard can't quite compensate for The Brave One's problematic and unconvincing eye-for-an-eye moral."

"Character: Erica Bain "

This should be burned and the ashes buried

“An old idea rehashed and tricked out with a ludicrous plot and some very bad messages which only made me angry.

The only beauty in this film lies in the monologues. That's where it begins and ends for me. The sadness and loss in Erica's voice is heartbreaking and Jodie Foster has a voice with a smoky sensuousness, laden with emotion and vulnerability that is unparalleled in our time; "... eight hairpins made out of bones. That Elouise." Tore me apart.

By contrast this film had so much revulsion, in its message and in its modus. When Mercer (Terrence Howard) tells Erica (Jodie Foster) that his hands didn't shake when he killed someone because he was on the "right" side of the law, thereby implying that Erica's murderous behaviour was at least forgivable, I was so angry I” read more

An average movie

“I didn't know what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Neil Jordan and Jodie Foster, I thought I should check it out. Eventally, I thought it was an interesting flick. Indeed, it takes a very old formula (the vigilante) but they gave their own flavor to the whole thing which was rather intriguing. Indeed, most of the movies in this genre focus on the violence and the actions scenes whereas here, they focused more on the characters. Jodie Foster was one of the best actresses and managed to win 2 academy awards during her prestigious career and I still think she is a terrific actress but it has a been a while since she really impressed me. Anyway, she gives here a solid performance and we eventually care about the character she has created and we believe that she would” read more

" if your love is taken from you in such a way, it is impossible for you to stay the same person you were before. here we find a good display of ericas rage and fear and throughout the whole movie you have no choice but to feel for her."
