The Brave One Anyone? - Blu-ray Forum

It doesn't compare to 3:10 it's more about alienation and the life of the man who killed Jesse James not about the life of Jesse James. Robert Ford, Casey Affleck Creeps me out in the way that you just hate him because he's portrayed as a killer. I mean you really wanna kill this guy, and that's probably why he got nominated because you hate him so much, but not in a cool way at all. The least liked bad guy = Coward.

And no one likes a Coward

so is it worth seeing? is there any action? guin fights? or is it all talking?

I thought the sound and the story was pretty good. Foster's char seemed to be in constant conflict with herself throughout the story. It was a j & Hyde thing with her. I also have to say HD is not going to be kind to her as she is starting to show her age in her face. I don't know if they used a body double for the nude scenes but that still looked good.

I have read the reviews on this and it is not fairing well.

Hard to remake a classic!

They're not gunfights, unfortunately 4 guys die in the film and 3 of them get shot in the back or in the back of the head. If you want to see cowboy style gunfighting this isn't your flick. This is only for TRUE DIE hard pitt fans. There is more action in Legend of the Fall then this film, lol.

Anyone else spot Jodie Foster's body double? She WISHES she had a frame like that!

IMHO, and in terms of plot/story, The Brave One and The Invasion are neck and neck for worst blu-ray of the year.

Good movie...

Watched it for the first time today. Great performances by both leads, good chemistry. The movie was basically Death Wish but trying to not hide from the psychological impact of seeking revenge and being a victim of crime. That's what made it new and fresh. I loved the ending too. It sort of made sense, they were on a collision course and there had to be some sort of compromise.
