Review of Ava

Ava (IV) (2020)
6/10
Poor man's John Wick
30 August 2020
The movie is worth the watch but frustratingly falls in many plot points and execution points that could have made it even greater, I think the makers of this movie literally said let us jump on the John Wick band wagon and make a similar movie that will be as successful because that was successful. But what they did was fail to tell their own story well. For one the movie centers around intelligent and skilled assassins and has all these ingredients for real intrigue but fizziles out with the antagonist and supposed assassin's boss running to a conviniently secluded spot that would facilitate killing him inconspicuous.

Even the way the movie ends you can tell they are pandering almost off-puttingly to requests of a sequel, which a really good movie need not do.

the even more frustrating thing because it had all the ingredients to be great (great cast, great premise, etc) but could have done better with unpacking the plot and making the fights more believable and compelling.
