Even a special appearance by the great Marlon Brando couldn't save it from scathing reviews.
The Big Picture The late 80s to early 90s were a great time for Johnny Depp. After fantastic performances in films such as Platoon, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and Ed Wood to name a few, it was only natural for him to explore other aspects of the movies where he could shine. He tried his hand in filmmaking for the first and only time in The Brave, a forgotten neo-Western that was at the receiving end of harsh criticism.
Meanwhile, his former associate Luis has grown curious of his newfound wealth, and wants a taste of the action. During a fiesta where Raphael treats the entire village to a feast, Luis formally approaches his old friend, but is soundly rejected. Raphael doesn't want to be a part of that life anymore, but Luis warns that he must reconsider. He leaves, and Raphael and Rita go out on a romantic walk to rekindle their love. Afterward, Raphael talks to the community priest to ask him for a favor.
How Did 'The Brave' Come To Be? The Brave was not initially an idea borne out of Johnny Depp's mind. The script was written by Paul McCudden, based on a novel by Gregory McDonald. Despite the dark nature of the story, it found a particular interest among studios when it was passed around in 1993. Acapella Pictures, a production company founded by Charles Evans Jr. and Carroll Kemp, pounced on the opportunity to make this into reality.
How 'The Brave' Came Into Johnny Depp's Hands Kemp and Evans, who had already spent about $500,000 on the project according to LA Times, reached out to another prospective first-time filmmaker, movie star Johnny Depp. Initially, Depp was not very fond of the script, but liked the idea of sacrifice for one's family. He decided to sit on it, and in 1994, finally accepted the offer to helm the production, under a few conditions.
