Hunting Ava Bravo

Who votes for these films?? Absolute waste of time. Terrible acting, ridiculous storyline and a complete waste of 78 minutes! Characters that you don't care if they live or die.

Overall, not totally bad, but the main character, Ava, at times was speaking either Portuguese or Spanish and there were no subtitles.

Her acting was not great but I think it was mostly to the way she spoke English as some of her lines seemed forced to say.

Other than in back story, there were really only 3 actors and 1 didn't have any lines and just grunted.

The bad guy, a rich action seeker that must be so bored being rich, that he needs to hunt humans that survived something in their lives. He did not seem very believable.

I did make it to the end but only because I had hope that things would get better, but they really didn't.

Billionaire sportsman Buddy King (Marc Blucas) unwinds by hunting human captives on his remote mountain estate. But his latest victim, Ava Bravo (Kate del Castillo), is no easy target, and his expected easy kill turns into a deadly game for others as Ava tries to escape the hunt he has set for her.

I like the story, simple but effective and rather moving as it unfolds. Kate del Castillo carries the film almost entirely on her own shoulders. Had it not been for her strong performance I suspect I'd have lost interest. Marc Blucas simply doesn't have the acting chops to carry out his role effectively.

Nevertheless the film had me tensed up several times, and full of unrealised expectation as it had prepared me to be paranoid and always fear the worst. The dialogue wasn't the best in the world but then again I have heard much, much worse. There's plenty of red herrings and twists in the plot to keep it very interesting, although there are a few plot holes. However these are simple ones that allow to story to arc so I forgive them. All in all it wasn't a bad film at all thanks to del Castillo, and I gave it a strong 5.

I am not sure why people knock so hard.. it really is not horrible or even bad. Yes the whole relationship if we can call it that between the villain and victim is weird for lack of more appropriate adjectives. I feel that the villain was horribly miscast but at the same time, the ending somewhat explains him. We understand why he is doing it and what he wants which if we go back throughout the movie, does make sense. A lot of the stupid things suddenly make sense.

They do try to explain a lot of the stupid things that both characters do.. its not like they do them just for doing them. The script does try to say yes, this is stupid, it makes no sense, but this is why they are doing it... there is a reason for it. It is a lot of choices that aren't really choices. It is easy to forget, she cannot kill him because she needs him; killing him makes it worse for her no matter what. That's a fact of the situation. He cannot kill her, because well, you will see at the end. Once you connect those things, it becomes much more realistic.

The ending i really felt would go the other way of how it went. Maybe i just have a soft spot for lost puppy souls...

It was unbelievable, but i have seen a lot worse. It had action and a plot. I like the lead character, because she did a good job, but you can blame her for dialog or the script. I believe she did what was given to her.
