The Brave One

I just got back from seeing it.  Basically its like a remake of Charles brownsans Death Wish, but with a female verson instead.  It bought a more realistic up to date version, and I think using Jodie Foster for the role, and seeing it through a womans eyes makes this a very good movie.  But like I said, if you see it, the movie is just like  Death Wish, even up to the "ending", but regardless, I think you all will like it.

When I look at it on the commercial it seems like a good movie about a woman that defends herself because of gangs and stuff. Yeah Death wish was a good movie too so this should be as good as Death Wish was.

Yes indeed, this could pass as a remake, though I think it has a bit more impact because it's a woman this time and not a man carrying a cannon getting rid of the local gangs.

Exactly Lions.  Its not meant to be a stylized gun fight.  Its about an ordinary woman who becomes naother essence in a mad and fearful world.  Not an action hero, but someone who entered a dark area, we are not sure if we could, or ever would want to go there.

I really liked The Brave One..
As a matter of fact,I saw it twice..
I love movies that are based in New York..
Terrence Howard,was Great!!
And that ending was
[glow=red,2,300]FIRE!!!![/glow]

Yes, it seems as if sometimes hollywood trys to step away from the so called "Justified" hero, and takes the step into the anti-hero approach.  The ending was the coolest wasn't it.  Especially the surprise that Terrence Howard gives the audience.

I went and saw this movie today and as a woman there are so many issues about fear that they touched on that I find myself thinking about too, I'm not sure that I would be able to do the things that Jodie Foster's character does in the movie, but if an act of violence happened to me I would want to take steps to ensure it never happened again, or ever. And of course I just loved it as a movie in general too, finally the movie makers go down the dark path and none of this redeeming crap cause you know you would want to do it too.
