This American action film has a strong cast, but looking at the cast list it can be considered a big name. The biggest reason for choosing to watch this film is the name of the star. The lead actress is Jessica Chastain, who plays the role of Ava, a powerful female assassin. Golden Globe-winning actor Colin Farrell is Ava’s fellow actor, and he’s just as reassuring as Sister Law.

One of my favourite veterans, John Malkovich, plays Ava’s mentor, and he’s a real trooper. International friend Chen Chong also has a role in the film, and the film seems to have a somewhat international perspective.

But the feeling after watching Ava is that it is a time suck. The whole film takes on a high to low dynamic, a gesture that starts high and goes low, peaking at the beginning and going all the way down until the film is released and the whole film ends in a depression.

Ava seems to have been shot in a three-act structure, but it feels awkward and awkward, and the last two words that come to the audience’s mind are probably “Is that it?” “That’s it?” When I first saw that the title was AVA, I thought that the game that had died, Lord of War, had been released as a movie. It’s strange that a game that’s been represented to death would be released as a movie, and then I looked at the plot synopsis and saw that it had nothing to do with Lord of War.

Ava’s heroine, Ava, is a top assassin in an assassin’s organization who travels the world on missions all year round. Ava has a mild social disorder and, having excelled in her studies, chooses to join the army to kill the enemy, just to vent her anger. After being discharged from the army, Ava took a job as an assassin for a number of years. After a failed assassination mission, the organisation wanted to get rid of Ava, who was forced to fight back.

I’m sure old fans will be delighted to see the set-up of the hitman group trying to eliminate the top assassin. Isn’t that what Fast and Furious is getting ready to film? With John Wick’s new film still to come, it’s worth checking out Laurie’s Top Gun. Plus with Colin Farrell, John Malkovich and a bunch of other old guns in supporting roles, it couldn’t be too bad anyhow.

But the reality of the situation slaps the audience in the face mercilessly, with a poorly written drama and a messy martial arts scene. Ava’s relationship with her father, mother, sister and ex-boyfriend is a mess, and she avoids socialising and turning into a killer. The film takes great pains to flesh out Ava’s character, but it rambles on and on, making it impatient to watch. It would have been better to flesh out the villains, and the film might have looked better.

The film doesn’t have the same sense of exhilaration as Fast and Furious, and the more the actors are required to work, the more it becomes a disaster scene. The action sequences in Ava are disastrously choreographed, with the initial action scenes featuring the lightest amount of physical action and the best overall performance by Laurie, but as the action scenes get more physical, the performance gets worse and worse, with the top killers facing off like street fighters. The best action scenes are instead contributed by the 67 year old John Malkovich.

I feel that the actress is not picky about the films she takes on in order to meet her workload. It’s not a bad thing to pick and choose your scripts.
