Naveen Andrews, who plays Sayid Jarrah in LOST, has a movie with Jodie Foster. As Sayid, the faithful LOST followers are assured that the series characters they root for who are with Sayid will be protected as they swash and buckle one thrill after another thrill in the mysterious groups of islands where they are stranded. We are in awe with the Sayid character's skills and mastery in combat, reconnaissance, psychological warfare, and even torture. While we watch LOST, we feel confident that our favorite character who is with Sayid will be scooped up from harm as Sayid so adeptly brandishes his combat skills. And Naveen plays that with great aplomb.
Now that Andrews has a movie with Jodie Foster, I'm sure this
would kick great arse. Foster has acted on one of the strongest and most solid female characters that we have loved and admired, that of being Clarice Starling in "Silence of the Lambs". For those who just emerged from their caves, Foster played Clarice like she was born to be the bravest and most intelligent female cadet FBI has ever produced and we forgot that it was a movie. We admired her fearlessness and display of tenacity against Anthony Hopkin's Dr Hannibal Lecter.
Foster has always been cast in roles of strong women like the one she played in Carl Sagan's "Contact" and of women who unwittingly gives off a hard emotional punch like her role in Scorsese's "Taxi Driver".
So with Andrews and Foster in this movie "The Brave One", everybody could expect one hell of a ride.
I'm actually interested to know why the tagline of their movie is "How many wrongs to make it right?" I know they are both right for the role. But watching the movie could be the actual judge of that.
