The Brave One

Director: Neil Jordan Producer: Susan Downey Year: 2007 Studio: Warner Bros. Cast: Jodie Foster, Naveen Andrews, Terrence Howard, Mary Steenburgen It’s about a woman who has a wonderful happy life and and is planning to get married soon when she gets mugged in a park and her partner gets killed in that incident and how she tries to deal with that afterwards. It’s a very intense movie that takes you from envying this woman for her happy life to feeling really sorry for her and to getting totally lost in her psychological chaos. And as well how the people touched by this react to her. The actors, especially Jodie Foster deliver a brilliant performance and I was very hooked throughout the film and touched by the emotional rollercoaster. I don’t want to say too much about the storyline because that will destroy the tension but this is definitely a film to watch. Not a funny one though!
