Sep. 14--Neil Jordan's The Brave One, which opens today in Toledo, has a big curious twist, sitting right there on the poster, in the trailers, wherever it appears on the couches of late-night television -- in plain sight. It's OK, keep reading; I'm not giving anything away. The twist is Jodie Foster, the person herself, that our most becalmed and cognitive of movie stars would chose to appear in a revenge flick, that most crass of exploitation genres. Moreover, director Neil Jordan, whose transgressive cinema favors the art house over the grind house, has followed behind. They've gone all blammy. But they are not slumming.
