How does someone who has suffered from a terrifying and traumatic experience cope or recover from such a nightmare? How could you ever expect that person to be the same? The Brave One gives viewers a compelling look at how an average woman shifts from being a brutalized victim to a fearless avenger of disturbing crimes.
Jodie Foster's portrayal of Erica Bain is authentic and emotionally heartbreaking. Her character's determination and conviction is inspiring. Although her actions are clearly unlawful, it's not hard to justify her behavior.
The movie's intensity is uncomfortable, but in a good way because it makes it very real.
If you're interested for something violently intense and emotionally engaging, this is definitely the movie to watch!

A chick version of Death Sentence. While it is well acted I suppose, the action drags. I suspect it was chosen by Foster as the good roles for women her age are rare they say.
