Little bit Home Invasion, little bit Western, little bit _Die Hard_. _Braven_ sees Momoa in the titular role (maybe prepping for his upcoming role as Draven?) of this throwback action thriller, which is always a good place to start any movie. While not exactly groundbreaking, _Braven_ was more enjoyable than I had suspected it might be. The sort of thing that'd definitely be worthwhile on Netflix or matinée . _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

_**Fighting drug runners in the snowy wilds with Jason Momoa**_ A logger in Washington State (Jason Momoa) is forced to defend his family against a group of violent drug runners in the wintry woods. Stephen Lang and Jill Wagner play the father and wife while Garret Dillahunt and Zahn McClarnon play heavies. "Braven" (2018) is an action/thriller that takes place in the snowy sticks in the mold of “Sugar Mountain” (2016), “Hold the Dark” (2018), “The Edge” (1997) and maybe “Cliffhanger” (1993). While it’s the least of these, it’s not bad and has its points of interest. There’s a one-man-army element akin to Rambo. What holds the movie back is a couple unbelievable action sequences, like the protagonist’s rope strategy at the end. Why Sure! But the locations and cast are good, as well as the superlative score. A little bit of “The Last of the Mohicans” (1992) is thrown into the mix. Regrettably, the flick scores weakly on the feminine front. The film runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, and was shot in Newfoundland, Canada, with establishing shots of the Great Northwest and some CGI mountains in the background. GRADE: B-/C+
