Actually you don't need sound to watch this movie. Somehow the plane noise was too loud for my iPod, so I just watched it without my headphones, fast forwarding through the portions with dialog. Later I read the spoiler and caught up on what I missed. It's pretty good: full of testosterone filled action. Perhaps not a surprise with Jodie Foster as the lead in a story of, well, revenge.

Minor spoiler:
I had a problem with the ending. How can anyone have someone else shoot them point blank in the chest no matter how much one trusts the other person? It's simply crazy. How can you be sure that you won't be dead from blood loss or other complications or even if not immediately, have some long term nerve or other damage. Perhaps if it's a smaller caliber weapon the round could ricochet around internal organs, and with a larger caliber the wound is larger and the damage could be fatal. In the movie's case, no precautions were taken. Shit, you could be hit in an important artery or puncture a lung and die in minutes. Crazy. Improbable.

Foster did a pretty good job in Brave One, a good demonstration of the power of fear... it felt like the cop compromised his convictions at the end, tho
