The Brave One
(USA, 2007, 118 minutes)
A New York radio host loses her boyfriend and her dog in a violent mugging in Central Park and unwittingly turns into a vigilante killer. Smart, provocative, self-relexive vigilante thriller that questions its own genre while going through its preposterous motions; surprisingly thoughtful and anchored by subdued handling and another stellar performance from its leading lady.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Silver Pictures production. Starring Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard, Naveen Andrews, Carmen Ejogo, Nicky Katt, Mary Steenburgen. Directed by Neil Jordan; produced by Joel Silver, Susan Downey; screenplay by Roderick Taylor, Bruce A. Taylor, Cynthia Mort, based on a story by Roderick Taylor and Bruce A. Taylor; music by Dario Marianelli; director of photography (Technicolor, Panavision), Philippe Rousselot; production designer, Kristi Zea; costume designer, Catherine Thomas; film editor, Tony Lawson.
