When The Brave One opens on Friday, audiences will see Jodie Foster in the same position she’s finds herself in onscreen an awful lot: alone. Sans man. In this new flick, for instance, she goes on a vigilante rampage through the streets of New York City after her financé is brutally murdered by street thugs. … more…
