Ava is a 2020 American action thriller film directed by Tate Taylor and written by Matthew Newton. It follows Ava, a professional assassin who tries to reconcile with her estranged family and soon becomes a target herself after a hit goes wrong.

The film was theatrically released in Hungary on July 2, 2020, and in the United States was released through DirecTV Cinema on August 27, 2020, followed by a limited theatrical and video on demand release on September 25, 2020, by Vertical Entertainment. It was released by Netflix on December 6, 2020.

So I went in watching this film with high hopes…….sorry to say it just didn’t cut the mustard! Seen lots of films about female assassins and surely there were many that were better than this. I can honestly say it was somewhat entertaining. One would think that with a cast as great as this film it would have been really good. Generally all of them were fine enough for this action film. Don’t get me wrong Jessica plays a real bad ass in this film with lots of action and excitement (watch the trailer above).

For me I just felt the film sometimes lost itself in its many subplots. It’s short in run time and you won’t get bored by any means…..especially with the surprise twists that makes it worthwhile.

If you have the time it not a total loss to watch!
