The Brave One (2007)

[Movie 215 / Day 229]


So-so thriller about a radio DJ, played by Jodie Foster, who suffers an horrific attack in which her boyfriend is brutally killed. Obviously, in order to cope with the grief, she buys a handgun and turns vigilante. That makes it sound more exciting than it is.

My rating: 5.7 / 10
IMDB rating: 6.9 / 10

Inside Man (2006)

[Movie 17 / Day 9]


Highly enjoyable heist movie with a nice twist. Some excellent acting from Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. The worst thing about it is Jodie Foster. I'm not sure if she's miscast or if she was having an off-day or what, but I wanted to slap her. Maybe that's what she was going for, in which case she was brilliant.

My rating: 7.8 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.7 / 10
