Elevating vigilante violence

Hap Erstein

Palm Beach Post

"A vulnerable, yet ultimately tough Foster galvanizes this thought-provoking urban vigilante film."

Foster walks the line between right, wrong

Chris Garcia

Austin American Statesman

"In its exploity-pulp way, 'The Brave One' is satisfying, but you feel dirty afterward."

"Jodie Foster at her best. The violence was difficult to watch but necessary to understand what would push someone to become a vigilante."

"Jodie Foster is great in this movie. I didn't like that the movie simplified violent acts. People in the theatre cheered when a person got killed; even though she went out looking for someone to kill. "

"I ENJOYED THE SUSPENSE. I DIDN'T MAKE ANY COMPARISONS HOWEVER, FOSTER DID A GOOD JOB AT REPRESENTING THE WAY A PERSON CAN SNAP AT A TRAUMATIC LIFE ALTERING EVENT. I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO ANYONE WHO LIKES SUSPENSE AND DRAMA!"

"I enjoyed the movie and I don't compare it to Death Wish. She really didn't start out as a viglante but, after her trama, as someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time, who was a emotional wreck and with a gun for protection. How many have thought that when threaten, you could just pull out a gun and POW. Jodie acting was great and the movie so realist. "

Sounds like Death Wish Remake

0 Stars

" I like Jodie Foster and this seems like it would be a good movie. Sounds like a remake of the classic "Death Wish" movie starring Charles Bronson. Maybe Foster will use one of Bronson's famous line from Death Wish. Bronson corners a killer, who begins to rub his cross pendant. Bronson asks "Do you believe in Jesus?" The criminal says "yes" then Bronson counters with "Well you are going to meet him" and pulls the trigger. Death Wish=Classic Revenge movie."
