Oct 4th
The Brave One** (18)
(Odeon Colchester)

A radio broadcaster survives a brutal mugging in which her fiancee is killed, and out of self-defence she turns vigilante.
After being the object of a vigilante's obsession in Scorsese's Taxi Driver in 1976, Jodie Foster is herself the one with the gun this time, in a slick, slightly contrived urban thriller, told with a generally intelligent and mature perspective on its subject, but also slightly pessimistic in its view of modern New York.

d: Neil Jordan
s: Jodie Foster, Terence Howard, Naveen Andrews, Nicky Katt, Mary Steenburgen
