AFTER LOSING THE ROLE OF BATMAN TO CHRISTIAN BALE, JODIE FOSTER RELUCTANTLY SIGNED ON AS ANOTHER CRIMESTOPPER IN, THE BRAVE ONE. IN IT, JODIE STARS AS SHE-RA, NEW YORK CITY'S MAN-CRUNCHING, LESBIAN OF DEATH. (NOTE FOR THE SLOW, SHE ACTUALLY STARS AS ERICA BANE, MURDEROUS, TRAUMATIZED, RADIO D.J.). AFTER A TRAUMATIC INCIDENT IN WHICH HER BOYFRIEND IS VIOLENTLY MURDERED, ERICA LEARNS TO COPE LIKE ANY OTHER AVERAGE CITIZEN. SHE ILLEGALLY PURCHASES A GUN AND STARTS PUMPING HOLES INTO SKETCHY PEOPLE. SOON LABELED AS A VIGILANTE, ERICA DEVELOPS SERIOUS MORALITY ISSUES OVER WHETHER WHAT SHE'S DOING IS RIGHT, OR COMPLETELY WRONG. THIS INTERNAL CONFLICT LASTS ABOUT AS LONG AS IT TAKES HER TO RELOAD. SHE THEN CONTINUES AVENGING HER BOYFRIEND THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, AIMLESSLY SPRAYING BULLETS IN CONFINED SPACES WHILE SMOKING MARLBORO LIGHTS. BALLS CLARICE, BRASS BALLS. THOUGH A LITTLE FAR FETCHED, IT IS ALWAYS REWARDING TO WATCH AN AVERAGE JANE TRANSFORM INTO A MERCILESS JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER..... REWARDING ENOUGH THAT I, THE MOVIE JERK, VOICE OF A THOUSAND CRITICS, MAN AMONG FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, PURVEYOR OF CINEMATIC WISDOM, RECOMMEND THIS RENTAL.
