tenacity 

fortitude 

intestinal fortitude

mettle 

courage and fortitude

disposition
or temperament

Ibsen heroines and Virgin Queens will [put] her on her mettle, but there is the danger she will lapse into mannerism and [give] more of those eccentric, overblown performances in parts she does not regard as a challenge.

valor 

In its hypnotic ritual, Beau Travail suggests a John Ford [cavalry] western interpreted by Marguerite Duras—Galoup always has time to [scribble] his obsessions in a diary. As in Billy Budd, the sergeant suckers the enlisted man into the fatal mistake of [slugging] him. 

Although the film is dated by its [valorization] of the once-fashionable ideology of Maoism, its cathartic chaos and experimental style still make Weekend a wicked [romp] for the cinematically adventurous.

prowess

exceptional valor or ability

His boxing [prowess] was every bit as lethal as his vocal cords; many of his most hilarious tales revolve around Jay beating the hell out of a musical rival! 

spot-on physical and vocal [mannerisms] [broadcast] DiCaprio's technical prowess, but his performance here has the sort of emotional undertow and sly, if childlike, intelligence that has [eluded] other actors as accomplished as Dustin Hoffman in similar roles. 

valiant

implies a [correspondence] between an 

[inner] courageousness 

and [external] deed, particularly of [physical] strength or endurance.

"I think from a career and commercial point of view, it's probably a mistake to make Daisy Miller, 

but from an artistic point of view,

I think it was [valiant], and I'm very, very proud of it, and I'm glas we made it."

The troops showed great [valor]

courageous

implies a [higher] or [noble] kind of bravery, from an [inborn] quality with [enthusiasm].

gallant

implies a [chivalrous], [impetuous], or dashing bravery.

paladin

Remove the paladin body from Utopia Three. 查理大帝的十二勇士之一

quixotic

plucky

That young woman is feisty, 

full of [spirit] 

and ready to [challenge] anyone.

She plays the daughter of Blackbeard. She's the daughter of the bad guy. She brings a lot of humor to it. And the fact that she's so [feisty].   

The director, Cary Fukunaga, is of course male, but the writer, Cheshire-[born] Moira Buffini, has celebrated women's [assertiveness] in the past with less obviously suitable material. Her play Silence turned forced marriage in the middle ages into a feisty female romp.

Feisty director Robert Aldrich paired up two of Hollywood's greatest ice queens, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, a campy, gothic exercise in psychological terror.

His horsemanship was [brilliant], a [bravura] demonstration.

The "Carnival of Venice" is a bravura [showpiece] for the cornetist.

trepidation

tremulous fear, alarm, or agitation, perturbation

Funded by Universal after School Daze's success in 1988, Do the Right Thing premiered to acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival that was matched in the U.S. despite unfounded [trepidation] that it would [provoke] violence.

So it goes without saying that his next film, Frances Ha, might inspire some trepidation amongst audiences, considering the [sour] taste that lingers on years later.

intrepid

He was [intrepid] in his business, but in his personal affairs, absolutely [audacious]

and with admiration for Smith's [reckless] and [intrepid] courage.

tepid

fetid

this [fetid] mood piece [embraces] split-psyche trauma (Fight Club)

that Trevor's [cackling], Lynchian arc-[welder] friend (John Sharian) is imaginary, and much of what [transpires] has a [tepid] hallucinatory [aura].
