The brave 1

Jodie Foster revels once again on the screen in a disturbed character, something she did with panache in 'Flightplan' and with authority and elegance in 'Silence of the lambs'. The Brave one is all about the character of Jodie Foster as Erica Bain.

She works as a RJ not in the sense we would relate to an average RJ of the eastern yore, but as a sensible thinker who ponders through her medium of choice about the changes grappling New York and involves her listeners in the process of her thought.

The film's storyline takes off when her fiance and herself are almost beaten to death on the eve of their wedding. Erica survives but not her boyfriend. The movie revolves around the slew of thoughts that Erica has to cope with one she recovers and becomes a total stranger to what she was before the incident.



It is an emotional portrayal of a noble and sober woman turning into the urban outlaw - a vigilante, beautifully told in a chilling manner.The other major part in the movie is played by Terrence Howard as 'Detective Mercer' who does his part as an understated cop admirably. If your in the mood to sink slowly into an emotional drama turn to this but don't dive into it looking for action or suspense.

Brave one - change brought about by the weight of pain!
