Review of The Brave One (2007) by Leah P — 22 Feb 2009

Jodie Foster shows a complete range of emotion in this film. She goes from a shy, wanting to please radio host to being a victim and unsure of herself and surroundings and then to the strong survivor much like in her film The Accused.

Terrance Howard plays the cop investigating a series of crimes and as he gets closer to the truth he must face his own questions of who he is and what kind of cop he wants to be. This film shows how any moment could change someone and the process of finding who they want to be after that moment.

I must admit that I had mixed feelings about the ending, but an alternate ending would not have been as satisfying.
