Sep. 14--In The Brave One, a New York City woman (Jodie Foster) recovers from a brutal assault in Central Park that leaves her fiance dead, buys a gun and starts prowling the streets at night, looking for any reason to dole out some old-fashioned, all-American vigilante justice ("Who's the b-- now?" she yells at a perp who had previously insulted her as she fires three bullets into his back).
As far as its plot mechanics go, The Brave One belongs to the hallowed (if less-than-respectable) genre of exploitative revenge pictures -- movies like Death Wish and Ms. 45 and Rolling Thunder, in which a formerly innocent, law-abiding person defies the rules of society in order to pay back a horrific crime.
