This sharply directed, back-against-the-wall thriller features strong performances and stunning winter location photography.

To put it simply and gratefully: "Braven" is the sort of unpretentious yet thoroughly professional popcorn entertainment that brings out the best in everybody involved.

Any cheapjack action movie can get a crowd to cheer at its shock kills. It's the best ones that persuade us that there's a clear chain-of-events physical logic at play - that find suspense in one action leading inevitably to another.

here isn't a ton that you'll find original about Braven, but if you like Momoa when he plays a man pushed past the breaking point, then this is worth your time.

Braven never truly goes for it. Its devotion to its slow build makes you think that the violent payoff you're waiting for is going to be more over the top than it actually is.
February 02, 2018
An automatic type of action movie, often only challenging its predictability by getting goofier and goofier.

For anyone looking for a shot of vengeance adrenaline while waiting for "John Wick 3" to come down the pike, "Braven" will probably fit the bill.

One of the minor joys of director Lin Oeding's film is watching Momoa give a sturdy performance to back up his physicality and natural star power.

A solid VOD actioner, with good action and solid performances from Jason Momoa & Stephen Lang.

Despite his fearsome physicality, Momoa again manages to come off as a relatable everyman, and Lang, as usual, superbly handles his role's considerable emotional and physical demands.
January 31, 2018
Engaging at times, giving Momoa a chance to play a normal guy for a change, but the picture is caught between two tonal extremes, lacking a master plan to mix drama and woodsy mayhem.

Director Lin Oeding's stunt background serves him well; the stripped-down action, fights and stunt work here feel like the real deal instead of effects-heavy marvels of editing.
