This revisitation of Charles Bronson?s Death Wish starts out well with Jodie Foster as a late night NYC radio host who, along with her boyfriend, become the victims of a brutal attack by a gang of thugs. Her boyfriend succumbs and... Full review
A female version of 'Death Wish'

Although somewhat predictable at times (but not the ending), and despite the fact that it really a remake of the old Charles Bronson film 'Death Wish' with a female twist, this film is entertaining and is worth the watch.... Full review
Ok. I like it.... but....

Because i saw Death sentence, and is mejor, esta se quedó un poco rezagada. Las actuaciones son buenas, Terence Howard es un gran actor al igual que la Foster, pero no se, me recordó mucho El Vengador Anónimo con Charles Bronson.... Full review

Jodie Foster, no matter which movie she is in (except for Nim's Island !@#$), gives us an electrifying performance that sticks with you and gives you a deeper insight of the character. She does this extremely well in The Brave One.... Full review

Very narrative

Had more of a narrative form than anything else. Reminded me of "Death Wish" with Charlie Bronson back in the day. It was almost a homage to that great film. Terrance Howard and Jodi Foster were a good on-screen match up.... Full review
A Thinking Man's [Woman's] "Death Wish"

Compelling performances by both Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard. Foster, in an Oscar-worthy performance - manages to capture the transfor- mation of her character as she slides ever so deeply into "the dark side".... Full review

But for all that understanding and respect, I still can’t recommend The Brave One as a piece of film. The Brave One starts as a love story and amazingly ends as one too, providing the unique "aha! moment that redeemed the movie somewhat for me. ... Full Review

Best film of the year. Terrance Howard ably and convincingly supports her as Mercer, the lead investigator who is drawn to her personally, and the subtle humor written for his sidekick cop partner is just right, genuine and sprinkled through the film to perfection. ... Full Review

Foster carries the film well. The Brave One may not do anything all that new with the premise, but it does do it better than a lot of the films that have come before it by crafting a very real character and allowing us to understand her motivations. ... Full Review

While it uses a similar premise, "The Brave One" is far more thoughtful and, for me, far more entertaining. The movie never seems entirely plausible, yet it makes no difference because we still get involved with it. ... Full Review
