JODI FOSTER IN THE BRAVE ONE MOVIE

It's not an action film and there are no explosions, but being in a huge, dark theatre does do a lot to fully immerse you in the story and the movie experience. To me, it was worth seeing it in the theatres and I think it's necessary to experience it this way. Like a hot shower, there aren't necessarily any high points (climax excluded), but you walk out of it feeling good and refreshed you walk out feeling better than when you went in.

To keep this brief, the movie is very satisfying. It makes you feel what the characters feel, and I think that's why the film comes off as being so successful after the fact. This creates a constant and underlying tension that puts you slightly on edge the entire film. The situations are so empathizable and relatable, that you can't help but put yourself into the character's shoes. In a way, the movie is so engaging because it asks you to look inside yourself to see how far YOU would go. The whole dynamic really sucks you in hard, because after all, who can't relate to that? Obviously not the murder part, but who hasn't been in a situation where you are torn between your relationships and your desire to do good? Or who hasn't been in a situation where 'right' is not so clear cut? His convictions are, of course, tested when he befriends Bane, who slowly becomes the likely suspect in a string of homicides. He very effectively gets across the conflict that he wages every day between upholding the law and delivering justice. Terrence Howard, the co-lead, does an excellent job playing Detective Mercer, a cop who wants nothing more than to just be good and to do the right thing. A transformation of this nature cannot be sudden and abrupt - it is a journey of self-exploration and I think the pace of the film really caters to this nicely. I am sure some might find the movie a bit slow, but I enjoyed watching the transformation of Erica Bain (played by Jodie Foster) as she morphed from this quiet and introverted woman into this cold and driven vigilante. This movie has both of these elements and it brings them together quite well.

I love a good revenge story and I love a girl kicking ass. (Note to self: obsess over her a little more - she's definitely under appreciated). She's so unlike other women and I find her strong acting style, distinct voice, and angular, enticing shape very pleasing to the senses. Ever since I watched her in Silence of The Lambs over 15 years ago, I've just been mesmerized. Director Neil Jordan Writers Roderick Taylor (screenplay) Bruce A. I went to see this movie because I think Jodie Foster is just awesome. 55 Photos Action Crime Drama Struggling to recover emotionally from a brutal assault that killed her fianc and left her in a coma, a radio personality begins a quest for vengeance against the perpetrators that leaves a bloody trail across New York City. My desire to see this was not based on the preview the preview was interesting, but didn't really pull me in. Last night, I took a friend out to see The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard.
