Braven [DVD]

Well, what can I say? The reviews on here of this film, encouraged me to buy it, and I looked forward to watching it after it arrived very quickly.I watched it on "Film (Friday) Night", and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.No continuity. No realism to situations. I won't be so crass as to write any spoilers, but oh my...artistic license was stretched to breaking point.And I do hope that the Sound recording Engineer was not the first choice of the Producer...ould hardly understand a word of any sentence spoken by Jason Momoa, and I have an exceptional Home Cinema Set-Up.The Story was okay, nothing new, but still...if it is done well, then of course it would be very enjoyable, but regrettably not.Promised to be good. Promise broken.

Typical action adventure film. Braven is a logger who takes his ill father to their remote cabin to talk, his daughter hides in the truck and goes with them. Unknown to Braven 1 of his drivers has hidden a large cocain delivery at the cabin and the drug dealers want it back. great action after a steady start, lots of great scenery, some blood and guts. The ending could be happy or sad, watch yourself to see.

Simply a great action movie. Jason Momoa plays a resilient, but not unbelievably capable, lead. The pace is sustained throughout. The supporting roles are well developed, and stereotypes are avoided. Joe Braven runs a logging company, and is a solid family man who, along with his wife and young daughter, are supporting his father, who is increasingly affected with dementia. Joe takes his father to their mountain cabin, where unknown to them, a sizeable quantity of drugs has been stashed. Almost immediately the well armed and highly ruthless gang turn up to recover their stash. The cat and mouse chase that follows is played out against the breathtaking Newfoundland scenery which is almost a character presence itself.

Enjoyable but a bit predictable. The relationship between father and son could have been explored a bit more, but I guess they were aiming more for an action movie.

Jason Momoa has a screen presence that draws you along. You are left with the impression you would look me him in your corner if in a fix. I do not believe there is a greater compliment to such an actor. The film is good too. Buy it.

A Great little action Flick with some Good stunts and Firefights.The one major issue though is with Stephen Langs character who seems to have dementia and this strand of the script seems to only serve as an excuse to get the Heroes to go to the cabin and then is never mentioned or brought up again.

Liked Jason in Stargate Atlantis so gave this a try, found it to be wooden acting. Glade I didn’t pay a lot for this. Not recommended.

For Me this has got to be the Best Action film of the Year..I was totally surprised how good this film was, the action set pieces & cinematography are first rate..
