Analysis

The movie has a typical storyline that isn't enough to keep the audience hooked. But ‘Braven’ is still a worthwhile watch because of its actors and excellent screenplay. The movie seems unnecessarily stretched at times, but may still be impressive because of its tremendous fight action scenes. The action sequences are not outlandish but are well crafted.

The movie may also disappoint the audience looking for a new and unique script.

What's There?

•Terrific action sequences that look vibrant on screen

•Exceptional action performance by Jason Momoa. Fans would love to watch him on screen with an absolutely engaging screenplay.

• There is excellent chemistry between the supporting actors.

What's Not There?

•Lack of character development at places, that make the movie drowsy.

• There is nothing unique in action sequences, as the story feels like a typical tale of good against evil.

Verdict

The movie is undoubtedly a one-time watch as there is excellent acting and screenplay. The lead actors, Jason and Garret, have played their roles exceptionally well. The supporting cast invariably has ultimate bonding. The movie feels tired and repetitive at times, but still is a fair watch because of vivid framing and camera work. Momoa’s fans would love his typical action sequences. This movie is definitely a worthwhile watch.
