But as I said before, you’ll get some chuckles if you go with a friend. The audience I was with really loved when the movie banged them over the head with “clues” - it helped them feel like part of the detective squad, but if you’ve ever seen and enjoyed something classic like Seven, Memento, or The Usual Suspects you’re going to find very little suspense here. He plays the streetwise detective who becomes pals with Jodie (coincidence city!) though he’s not smooth enough to figure out that’s she’s clearly gone on a killing rampage. Even Terrence Howard, who is a Golden God, can’t salvage the nastiness. You’ve seen every scene this film has to offer, you’ve heard every line of dialogue, and you’ve endured every manipulative method.
If that was the goal, I salute them.īut if the goal was to entertain this movie is sorely lacking. This is a place where folks throw around terms like “knife-rape.” Essentially what we have here is one giant reason to never travel to New York City. Violence seems to break out at random intervals so that Jodie Foster can loose her 9 milli. An example would be the portrayal of NYC. On the other hand, you may find some giggles in how the movie gets from plot point to plot point. Logic, innovation, dialogue - you name it, it’s a bit lacking. The problems with the movie are early and often. It’s also worth noting that you should probably never go into a dark tunnel after your dog, just as a general practice. Now, would a radio personality stick around a city where her guy was brutally murdered? Evidently, yes. Jodie then plays them on the air while she describes them which causes sleepiness (note: her goal on the fictional radio program was probably to entertain, but really just inflicted boredom). Oddly, Jodie’s job is as a self-described “streetwalker.” No, not a prostitute, the term “streetwalking” comes from her radio show involving the recording of sounds from around New York City. Jodie Foster is beaten to a pulp and her fiancee is killed (this is given away in every single ad for this movie) so she’s left super angry. The plot of The Brave One is a woman looking for vengeance. So I can’t recommend you see this it would be asking you to waste two hours of your life for a fun five minutes. I give credit to the ending, but it isn’t nearly enough to salvage the film. The Brave One is a terrible movie even though it does have a pretty good ending.
