Product Description

An artfully crafted vigilante flick that benefits endlessly from a simmering lead performance by Jodie Foster, a memorable turn by supporting player Terrence Howard, and the intoxicating direction of veteran filmmaker Neil Jordan, The Brave One offers a fairly predictable yet thought-provoking meditation on the transformative power of revenge before a last-minute twist highlights how even the most righteous can succumb to their hunger for justice under the right circumstances. Robbed of her fiancé and rendered comatose by a murderous gang of street thugs, popular radio show host Erica Bain (Foster) eventually awakens to discover just how cruel fate can be.
