Este thriller muy interesante y original es un poco como Taxi Driver de Scorsese. Un estudio psicológico de un hombre emocionalmente roto y su reacción extremista ante el miedo al mundo que le rodea y a sí mismo. Neil Jordan fue una elección excelente. Una pena la estúpida conclusión.

The setting in which the story takes place is intimately familiar to experienced cinephiles from the older thriller Death Wish starring Charles Bronson as an uncompromising avenger in the lead role, cleaning the streets of the city and saving taxpayers money on the judicial and prison system. Jodie Foster is a much more versatile character actress with a significantly broader range than Bronson. The Brave One also has a somewhat more complicated screenplay than the former, which soon became a tiresome monotonous series of street executions. On the other hand, the film's problematic moral dimension, where the main character, in the name of her pain, fear, and questionable right to satisfaction, embodies the powers of a prosecutor, judge, and executioner, is indeed present here, and it is only a pity that the screenwriter and director did not find the courage to lead their heroine to a bitter end. Overall impression: 60%.

Solid atmosphere and terror halfway, seen through the eyes of a woman. We won't see any muscles, liters of blood, or heroic expressions, Neil Jordan tries to go for a completely different ending. He succeeds, as I mentioned, somehow halfway, but this movie is definitely worth watching. In particular, Jodie Foster excels in these roles, and her dialogues with Terrence Howard are very well-written. There isn’t any shocking brutality like in Taxi Driver, the city is not as dirty, the perverts are not as perverse, and the harshness is not as harsh. It's as if they couldn't fully let go. Fortunately, the ending is fine, and the transformation of the main protagonist is relatively believable. It could have been worse. The tangible credibility is still there, even though you have to spice it up a little and shake it.
