The Brave One (2007)

Cast: Jodie Foster (Erica Bain), Terrence Howard (Detective Mercer)
For complete info, see IMDb's The Brave One page.

I'm not sure what I expected from seeing the preview of The Brave One a couple times when it was about to come out in theatres, but it wasn't as good as the movie I got to watch. I should have known from the cast (Jodie Foster & Terrence Howard tend to pick great movies) that it would be more interesting than it appeared from the preview.

I didn't expect the movie to be very deep, I expected a fairly standard revenge thriller, but The Brave One was definitely not typical. I don't want to ruin anything in the movie, but I really did not expect what happened near the end and it's always good when a movie catches me off guard a bit.

If you missed The Brave One in theatres, I recommend renting it.

Grade: B+
