Hunting Ava Bravo

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.

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.

A rating of 4 stars fits this film perfectly, I have no objections. First of all, I must mention that the film obviously has not the slightest originality, so it reminds me of many films I have seen so far with the theme of hunting people by rich people. The film is watchable but on the verge of unwatchability. The story is empty and not well presented, at least that's my opinion. The story is actually a bit pointless and uninteresting in parts, even boring. I watched the whole movie to the end, which is interesting, with very few rewinds, but the whole time I had the impression that something was missing for the movie to be complete, dont know..... this is some below average time killer.

I mean, this is not even worth watching on freebee channels. It is just that bad.

It was basically over in the first three minutes, when the kidnappee bashes the killer in the head (though she could have just stopped him from coming out of the basement in the first place -- after he left a message saying, "I'm coming out of the basement, please don't bash me in the head, as that would not be sporting").

At least no b-roll wolves were harmed.
