  Review by matt lynch ★

  There isn't a single novel moment or exciting twist or decent action beat in this entire misbegotten endeavor. Aggressively generic, cheap-looking and ugly, embarrassingly acted, and haphazardly edited. You've seen better terrible TV pilots. Stop Tate Taylor before he kills again.

  Review by Sam Meltzer ★★ 5

  Jessica Chastain can do no wrong, and a few scenes can be fun, but for the most part, it was pretty bad. I really do think Chastain brings a lot more to this movie than she has any right to. Obviously, it isn’t her best performance, but she isn’t bad. The script is cheesy and unnatural, it feels pretty generic and it is kinda messy. And honestly, I was kinda bored for some of this which is weird. The music choices are really unoriginal and cliched. I feel like I’ll forget about it soon as well. I don’t, I guess its worth it for Jessica Chastain, but the rest isn’t much.

  Colin keeps hurting me - hiding his hotness in The Batman, making shit movies like this one where he sports INEXPLICABLE mustache (it looked like it rubbed off...was it from friction when someone was sitting on his face? because I'll accept no other explanation...oh crap, here comes the heartbreak of not being the person involved in this), knocking up a Polish woman WHO ISN'T ME - and yet I keep loving him.

  He truly is The Joker to my Harley Quinn.

  What in the world did I just watch? Not often do I get a jumbled mess of scenes that actually manages to provide a bit of entertainment, but that’s what this film is. In my linked video, I put this second
  -to-last on my monthly Tier List, but I now move it to last after soaking in the film a bit more. How have I not heard abut this since the first teaser that dropped an eternity ago? Maybe it was just a poster. Whatever it was had to be better than the result. The cast singlehandedly saves this film from being the worst film of the year, and seeing…

  Review by DreamScape40 ★★★½ 3

  I mainly wanted to watch this because of the fight scene with John Malkovich and Colin Farrell. For which it was short.

  Regardless, I like any assassin female film.
  Sure the action sequences were week and not that great, but I do support my gal Jessica Chastain and her funky chopped up short hair :)

  Great cast.
  Nice score.. for which I had my headphones on so that I could hear all the snap, crackle, PoPs effects.

  It was fun. It kept me entertained.

  Review by Dave Taylor ★★

  Family drama? Contract killer action movie? Both????

  My favorite part was when Jessica Chastain jumped out of the water like Jason Voorhees ready to kill a muthafuka.

  My second favorite part was when Gena Davis just existed on camera (I feel like I haven’t seen her forever!).

  My third favorite part was...

  Nope, that’s it.

  Why doesn't Hollywood know what to do with a female assassin!? Why do they make it seem so difficult!?
  Surely there's a way to do this kind of movie without it being painfully generic, embarrassingly cheap and awkward as hell?
  I await the day for someone to get this right. Until then we're stuck with... this... Ugh... Get it off me...

  Review by Vince The Cinephile ★ 2

  Tate Taylor (The Help and Ma) completely wastes his starry ensemble's potential with this horridly-looking, flat-out disaster assassin film Ava. Not even Jessica Chastain can elevate this mess. Taylor assembles the loud action sequences like it's a major plot point which give no sense to push the narrative forward. Then you have these amazing actors like John Malkovich, Geena Davis, and the great Joan Chen in parts where they almost look like they're amateurs. A mess. No bueno. Please Jessica, fire your agent and get interesting material with a good director.
