The Brave One product reviews

Neil Jordan's 'The Brave One' stars Jodie Foster as a happy woman whose life changes irrevocably after a brutal assault leaves her partner dead.

The woman, feeling that the police investigation will be unable to catch the perpetrators, begins to live in constant fear. This outlook results in the woman eventually dispatching vigilante justice. Terrence Howard co-stars as the officer in charge of the investigation.

Its a hard time being locked up in a hospital bed for weeks on end but then again it has its highlights, like being able to lie back and watch some pretty cool movies without being hassled. This was one of those cool movies. At first glance you might think it was just another vigilant movie where the victim gets angry and goes on a killing spree, but there is far more depth to this one. First off the main character is female (well, d'UH!) and she isnt angry, shes mad. Mad in the sense that she is no longer the person she used to be before the traumatic experience that takes her entire life and stuffs it through a blender. After being attacked she buys an unlicensed gun for self-defence, but soon finds that New York really is a dangerous place to be, and soon has to kill to survive. After this, she loses the last thread of contact with her former self and becomes obsessed with dealing out justice wherever she sees freedom being abused. As the story progresses she is befriended by someone who could help her find some peace, if only he wasn't the biggest threat to her freedom. A stunning rendition by Jodie Foster, who has progressed from roles that have her as the used, the manipulated, the victim, and has taken her full-circuit to being the one in charge, the dominant, the brave one. The way she totally embraced the role shows itself clearly, and allows you to get immersed in the story without much effort. Well worth watching, even if you *do* have a choice. Wink Icon

Product reviews for listing 1463: Night at the Museum
Directed by Shawn Levy

Product image for Night at the MuseumWhen Larry Daley (Stiller) is hired as a museum night watchman he soon discovers that all the exhibits come to life after the sun sets. Suddenly, Larry finds himself fact-to-face with a frisky T. Rex skeleton, tiny armies of Romans and cowboys and a mischievous monkey who taunts him to the breaking point.

But he may just figure out a way to control the chaos and become a hero in his son-s eyes. Boasting jaw dropping special effects ... more...
