The Brave

It's a fun blast for a B FILM.

Nothing new except based in Albania with English speaking actors mostly from Hollywood and few from Russia, shot in Albania but not funded by Albania production all main actors aren't Albania but playing as Albanian characters, only Albania actors were the police armd forces and the extras.

I would say should had brought Albanian speaking actors too do the job instead non related Albania actors🇺🇲🇷🇺. Just I think it would had been more Albanian, if they brought Albanian speaking actors. I'm not Albanian for your information just would prefer native tongue like when the romans spoken posh English in Gladiator because everyone knows the Romans were British.

Its an OK movie. Should've used more Albanian actors and or languages. I

William Kaufman is one of my favorites B-movie director working nowadays because he really knows how to bring the fun out of a cliche storyline with his long shootout scenes and a good cast and I'm pleased to announce that The Brave (2019) his latest project is also a ton of fun and look way better than most low-budget Cops 'n' Crooks right now. There are many shootout scenes in this movie just like I expected and although the CG blood may look bad the shootout still very easy to track plus an excellent performance from both Louis Mandylor and Armand Assante make this movie more worth watching in my opinion

One of the best low budget (2m) internationally produced B-grade films I've seen, and better than some of the recent Hollywood blockbusters with A-list actors. I wasn't expecting much going into this film but was pleasantly surprised. This film had no Hollywood flair in it at all; simple yet effective scenes, excellent choreographed action sequences with realistic fight/bullet wounds, and no over-hyped unconvincing scenarios.

This film is based on true events and was filmed primarily in Albania and Bulgaria, and thus the international setting was a refreshing change. The score was sheer perfection and maintained constant tension throughout the entire film.

Novice director William Kaufman was fairly impressive with this film, although I could have done without the shaky-cam moments. Otherwise his camera work and directing his cast was amazing. The cinematography and color choices where perfect for this films setting and story.

The first-ever writing/screenplay debut by Marco Balsamo was outstanding, who was also cast and produced this film. The pacing was perfect and the 103 min length flew by with the constant suspense of the story.

Louis Mandylor shined in his role and was convincing throughout. It was great to see Armand Assante, and he did fit his characters role, but I did have trouble understanding some of his dialogue. The rest of the cast also performed quite well, especially since I've never seen or heard of them.

An all around excellent suspenseful film I found very realistic and produced excellently. A well deserved 8/10 from me, and if anyone is questioning this review as being fake, click on my user name and you will see my 1000+ ratings and 600+ reviews.

Also known as "The Brave". This Albanian film is about the attempt to oust organized crime from an evolving Albania and the police headlining this challenge. Louis Mandylor stars and is strong as an American educated police officer who is undercover. Armand Assante is hyperbolic in his role as an Italian mobster in Albania. It's watchable action.
