Neil Jordan's somber The Brave One is a lot of things. A reflective movie about a crime victim's sense of dislocation and isolation from her own life following a harrowing trauma, the film will strike a chord with a lot of people who have known violence.

Didn't quite get there

Well, I am going to have to agree with "Hermit's" February 2 review, so go ahead and give me a bunch of "No" votes. I like Jodie Foster as much as the rest of you, but unfortunately, his review was spot on.
I say "unfortunately" because this was a good cast and a decent plot, but the movie just didn't quite get where it was going. It should have been better. It tried to be deep, but in fact it was predictable. I knew exactly how the movie was going to end long before it did.
The radio narrative's Jodie Foster's character gave in the movie fell short as well. The idea was fine, the words were fine, the acting was fine, but the effect they were trying to produce never quite formed. It seemed forced. The entire movie seemed like they tried too hard, it wasn't natural.
The movie did not build on itself. You would see one relatively dramatic scene that would kindle your interest, and next would be a clumsy and bland scene that would deflate all the drama that had just been developed. It all seemed a little shallow, forced, predictable, and I hate to say it, slightly boring.
What I felt about The Brave One kind of reminded me of what I felt about the movie "A History of Violence". I had high hopes for that movie, especially since it had Ed Harris in it. And although all the scenes he was in were very good, the movie itself turned out be a little odd and basically uninteresting.
Check it out. I hope you enjoy it, and if you are a Jodie Foster fan you just might, but as a movie I just felt it was slightly disappointing. |
