It will stay with you, the story is heartbreaking and the acting,particularly from Johnny , is intense. It's not a simple watch and forget it movie.

The brave features a great performance by Johnny Depp but the movie is a very slow moving slow burn especially on the first half. The whole plot is a bit exaggerated but it does have a good message of family loyalty and compassion. It is a moving film. It’s a very Indie moving film. Not sure why Johnny Depp never released the film it’s not horrible but it’s not great either.

Slow, ponderous and completely undeserving of it's 2+ hour runtime, The Brave, best remembered for being so poorly received by American critic that it never saw a theatrical release there, is a terrible blunder in the career of one of our most unique talents. I love Johnny Depp, and despite his recent penchant for making bad choices, both on and off the film set, I usually look forward to seeing him act. In this film, which he directed and co-wrote, there's very little he can do to enliven the proceedings. Ostensibly a think piece on mortality, it quickly becomes a Brown Bunnyesque collection of boring sequences that we're supposed to find profound, but just feel hollow and pretentious. It's about 30 minutes of story stretched over 4 times that length, and things becomes tedious long before the credits start to roll. Marlon Brando is, unsurprisingly, very memorable in his miniature roll, and it's a shame more of the film wasn't about him, as he has the potential to be a character of significant interest. It's no surprise it was rejected by critics and audiences at large, and considering that Depp hasn't directed a film since, I think it's failure probably hit him hardest of all. That being said, it's a relatively minor misstep in an otherwise remarkable career, and as such we can look back on The Brave as simply a momentary lapse of reason, and not the death knell of an entire life's work.

This movie is hard to find. It is worth finding.. It is dark, sad, not a fun ride. Well acted, directed, written. Critics panned it. Yet audiences have found it. Johnny did a masterful job in telling a story no one wants told. As a side note, it was filmed in Kern County where I live. I heard that each evening he brought the entire cast and crew into town for dinner. He and they were respectful, friendly and polite, and big tippers. This film was done early in his career. I'm sorry he got discouraged, because he has great insight into life and people.
