When this moral failure is coupled with the movie’s extensive use of foul language and a nude unmarried sex scene between the heroine and her boyfriend, THE BRAVE ONE rates an unacceptable “excessive” rating from. At the end, it also endorses vigilante justice and violent revenge without much, if any, ambiguity. THE BRAVE ONE is an exciting, emotionally riveting thriller, but is sometimes pretentious and corny with too many coincidences. Her revenge against the evil men who ruthlessly murdered her boyfriend put that friendship to the test. She becomes friends with the detective investigating her vigilante shootings. Erica decides she likes the power and feeling of justice she gets from doing this and seeks out other criminals. The first chance she gets, Erica blows away an angry man who murdered his girlfriend while the girl works at a corner mini mart. It stars Jodie Foster as Erica, a radio show street poet in New York City who buys an illegal gun after thugs mercilessly beat her fiancé to death and her into a coma.


THE BRAVE ONE is an unofficial remake of the 1974 Charles Bronson revenge/vigilante movie DEATH WISH.
