Hunting Ava Bravo

I am not sure why people knock so hard.. it really is not horrible or even bad. Yes the whole relationship if we can call it that between the villain and victim is weird for lack of more appropriate adjectives. I feel that the villain was horribly miscast but at the same time, the ending somewhat explains him. We understand why he is doing it and what he wants which if we go back throughout the movie, does make sense. A lot of the stupid things suddenly make sense.

They do try to explain a lot of the stupid things that both characters do.. its not like they do them just for doing them. The script does try to say yes, this is stupid, it makes no sense, but this is why they are doing it... there is a reason for it. It is a lot of choices that aren't really choices. It is easy to forget, she cannot kill him because she needs him; killing him makes it worse for her no matter what. That's a fact of the situation. He cannot kill her, because well, you will see at the end. Once you connect those things, it becomes much more realistic.

The ending i really felt would go the other way of how it went. Maybe i just have a soft spot for lost puppy souls...

A rating of 4 stars fits this film perfectly, I have no objections. First of all, I must mention that the film obviously has not the slightest originality, so it reminds me of many films I have seen so far with the theme of hunting people by rich people. The film is watchable but on the verge of unwatchability. The story is empty and not well presented, at least that's my opinion. The story is actually a bit pointless and uninteresting in parts, even boring. I watched the whole movie to the end, which is interesting, with very few rewinds, but the whole time I had the impression that something was missing for the movie to be complete, dont know..... this is some below average time killer.

I mean, this is not even worth watching on freebee channels. It is just that bad.

It was basically over in the first three minutes, when the kidnappee bashes the killer in the head (though she could have just stopped him from coming out of the basement in the first place -- after he left a message saying, "I'm coming out of the basement, please don't bash me in the head, as that would not be sporting").

At least no b-roll wolves were harmed.

It was unbelievable, but i have seen a lot worse. It had action and a plot. I like the lead character, because she did a good job, but you can blame her for dialog or the script. I believe she did what was given to her.

I like how this movie is labeled as an action thriller. But I am getting ahead of myself here.

When I sat down here in 2022 to watch "Hunting Ava Bravo", from writers Julie Auerbach, Kevin Tavolaro and Marc Blucas, it was doing so without ever having heard about the movie. However, I like the movie's cover, and the synopsis sounded interesting enough. Plus, the fact that I hadn't already seen the movie before, also made me sit down to watch it.

Now, I don't understand the need for hunting Ava here, because the sheer boredom instilled from this movie would be sufficient to do the trick. Man, talk about a slow paced and monotonous movie. And this was an action thriller? I bed to differ. Nothing thrilling about this movie, it was simply too uneventful and slow paced.

The acting in the movie was okay. I wasn't familiar with lead actress Kate del Castillo, but it was fun enough to see Marc Blucas make it to a movie such as this. A shame that they had nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline, character development and dialogue.

Sure, there was potential for a more interesting movie here, but director Gary Auerbach simply squandered it.

If you enjoy action thrillers, then I would strongly suggest that you get your thrills elsewhere, because "Hunting Ava Bravo" simply isn't worth the effort.

The movie's cover was actually the best part about the entire experience.

My rating of "Hunting Ava Bravo" lands on a three out of ten stars.
