Review: The Brave One

The Brave One is an astounding motion picture. I have no idea why it has a 42% rating on Rotten Tomaotes. It's absurd. Jodie Foster is an amazing actress and whatever role she takes on, she makes it human. She invests so much into all of her characters and we feel that investment reverberating off the screen. Neil Jordan is a masterful director and he works wonders here. All the haters complaining about the conclusion can take their preconceived notions about how most movies should have a "moral" ending and shove them. This is one of the best pictures of the year. A+
