Review of Ava

Ava (IV) (2020)
6/10
Jessica is watchable but the story is mediocre

Jessica Chastain always is watchable because of her intelligent looking performances. It's strange she did this assassin style action movie. I like how she looked terrible in disguise and much better out of disguise with less makeup. Charlize and others have done the same type of action movies. A rite of passage for the maturing actress. But why? It's not quality film making.

The family story with the mom and sister is quite diverting. Haven't seen Geena for a while and it's great to see her again. But the whole assassin thing with John and Colin seemed half baked. As did the thing with Joan Chen. Not properly explained. Who what when where and why? The love triangle thing with sis was off putting too.

The ludicrous fight between a feeble looking John Malkovich and Colin Farrell was painful to watch.

The ending was rather an anti climax. Punch punch and more. Did not like the tiny loose end.

Bad story great actress.
