Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 19 Sep 2007

Be care of the bait and switch. The film flip-flops from start to finish between a heart film with a vigilante and a vigilante film with a heart…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 18 Sep 2007

In Jordan's hands, the film becomes a tormented trip into a nightmarish world of murky darkness and neo-Expressionist camera angles…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Jason Morgan (22) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 17 Sep 2007

With all the thematic false starts and missed opportunity, The Brave One boils down to violence begets violence, and says it cures all the…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 17 Sep 2007

one of the most compelling and flat-out exciting revenge thrillers to come along in quite some time…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 17 Sep 2007

[Despite some flaws,] I do recommend the movie - for Foster's stunning performance and for the story's willingness to explore the honest-to-goodness…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Ebert & Roeper (629) on 17 Sep 2007

I think The Brave One could have been a better film with a different ending, but it's still a well-crafted, thought-provoking story with outstanding…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By John P. Mccarthy (315) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 16 Sep 2007

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Frank Ochieng (928) for World Voice News (19) on 16 Sep 2007

Jordan's Brave delves into a showy yet sluggish crime drama that incorporates all the cliched parts of a fatalistic fantasy audiences have…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Sean Mcbride (367) for Sean the Movie Guy (367) on 16 Sep 2007

Should have been a quickie revenge flick, but turns out to have a lot more meat on its bones thanks to Foster's strong performance and assured…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 16 Sep 2007

It's as much about the unfocused feelings of vengeful rage many Americans had after 9/11 as about a woman going on a killing spree…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Kam Williams (1,272) for NewsBlaze (855) on 15 Sep 2007

NYC as a dangerous metropolis where a gun-toting fem avenger indulging in a cerebral bloodsport has a close brush with death every five minutes or so…

By Christopher Smith (624) for Bangor Daily News (Maine) (624) on 15 Sep 2007

Armed with good performances--and contrivances…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

Decent revenge flicks allow some viewers to continually ask What if…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 14 Sep 2007

sullied by sludgy screenwriting, but Jodie and Jordan almost pull it out of the mire. It's a misfire, but an interesting one…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 14 Sep 2007

In that moment, the movie changes too, from a subjective contemplation of her grief and loss to an erratic vigilante pic…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Jean Lowerison (512) for San Diego Metropolitan (486) on 14 Sep 2007

The Brave One moves at a brisk pace and Foster and Howard do a fine pas de deux as the plot develops…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 13 Sep 2007

The Brave One is as bold a movie as we are likely to see this year, a movie that has more in common with 1970s provocations like Straw Dogs…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Emanuel Levy (2,948) for EmanuelLevy.Com (2,771) on 13 Sep 2007

Jodie Foster's commanding performance compensates for a film that can't decide whether it's an updated version of 1970s vigilante actioners…

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Brian Webster (658) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 13 Sep 2007
