Reviews


88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Not since "The Crying Game" has Jordan crafted as compelling a motion picture.
83
The A.V. Club - Tasha Robinson
The moody tone and carefully balanced drama turn a grubby premise into something unexpectedly elegant.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
The Brave One is "Death Wish" with a guilty conscience, and while it may be a bit of a hypocrite as vigilante thrillers go, the internal contradictions of the thing make for a very interesting picture.
70
Village Voice - Unnamed
Taken literally, almost everything that follows in The Brave One so seriously strains credibility (even by the standards of the genre) as to enter the realm of the absurd. Taken on the level of a menacing urban fairy tale, however--something akin to what Jane Campion was aiming for with "In the Cut"--it's strangely fascinating.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
A vigilante drama boasting a powerful Jodie Foster performance and carefully weighted direction by Neil Jordan.
