The Brave One (2007)

I feared it would be Jodie miscast in a stupid gun-toting revenge trip scenario, but the story has just enough originality at opportune moments to separate it from the hundreds of other films in the same tired genre.
Jodie's ability to convey the struggle that accompanies difficult emotions is never in doubt. And Neil Jordan knows that while violence and conflict help drive a narrative, subtlety can be a powerful tool too, so he uses it to his advantage.
