(Not So Much) Naveen in Brave One
Naveen Andrews is in Jodie Foster’s latest film, directed by Neil Jordan.

While browsing movie listings over the weekend, I noticed that the cast of [2] The Brave One, the latest Jodie Foster star vehicle, includes Naveen Andrews. As a [3] Lost fan impatiently awaiting the next season scheduled for sometime never in 2008, this piqued my interest. Andrews plays Foster’s [4] “sensitive, guitar-strumming male nurse” fiancé named David Kirmani. Or he does until he dies at the hands of thugs, an event that happens early in the film as the catalyst thrusting Foster’s character, radio host Erica Baines, into vigilante mode.
While [5] Terrence Howard’s role as a romantic interest and detective on the trail of the vigilante sounds like it would ameliorate the suspiciously [6] UNFAIR RACIAL CLICHÉ ALERT quality of Andrews’ early demise, that may be small consolation for us fans of Lost’s [7] Sayid looking to see more of Andrews on the big screen. Maybe we should rent Bride and Prejudice or [8] My Own Country instead (actually, Netflix is nugatory on that last title, so maybe not). As for my ultimate choice of movie for last weekend? [9] Rebel Without a Cause. No Naveen (just Dean) but rewarding nonetheless.
