Movie Reviews

FilmStew.com - 9/10 by Richard HorganYou half expect the CSI: New York characters played by Gary Sinise and Mila Karakanedes to show up at the first, second or third crime scenes.
Premiere - 9/10 by Glenn KennyAn intense New York-set thriller that manages to be both commercial and contemplative, kick-ass and quietly, disturbingly insinuating.
Observer - 9/10 by Andrew SarrisThe Brave One has opened the fall movie season with a bang, indeed with a lot of bang, bang, bangs. Don't miss it.
Horror.com - 9/10 by Staci Layne WilsonBy the time Foster says 'I want my dog back', you might be saying you want your money back. But by then, it will be too late. You'll have been seduced...
Detroit Free Press - 9/10 by Terry LawsonThe Brave One is as bold a movie as we are likely to see this year, a movie that has more in common with 1970s provocations like Straw Dogs and Taxi Driver.
Internet Reviews - 9/10 by Steve RhodesFoster's subtle but gut-wrenching performance gives you a palpable sense of adrenaline and self-loathing at the same time
tonymedley.com - 9/10 by Tony MedleyFoster is remarkably believable. She never seems to be 'acting'.
Denver Post - 9/10 by Lisa KennedyWhat the screenwriters don't achieve in dialogue, director Jordan often delivers visually. He and his cinematographer employ a particularly powerful way to evoke Erica's resurfacing. It resembles a slow blink; it suggest a brain grappling to make sense.
E! Online - 9/10 by Dezhda GaubertThoughtful action picture? Meditation on grieving? The Brave One tries to be both but just misses its target, despite the presence of a magnetic Jodie Foster.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacDonaldA violent action movie with a heart and soul. Watching it is difficult; forgetting it is more so.
