Watched it in cinema, not worth the 15 bucks. Okay movie to watch when you're bored, basic action and predictable plot. Could've been a great movie if it was executed correctly, character development is quite poor.

Rated 1 just because John Malkovich was in it. Sad that Jessica Chastain had to do this kind of a movie. This movie should not have been made...it's that bad.

Another "Nikita" type of film. ok Chastain is on it, that should be enough. Kicking and fighting is a role that suits here, like a new Liam Neeson. No significant twists, story is well paced, not get bored with the action, and a sequel could be made.

Count no man as happy until his end is known

Yeah, "all that Greek shit" that the writer doesn't even fucking know that it was **Solon** who said it to Croesus!!!

Solon!

This has some horrific acting and stilted dialogue, felt like a soap opera and a John Wick fanfilm smashed together with a cast list unfitting of the final products quality. Why did Malkovich, Farrell and Chastain even sign on for this? Even die hard action fans will be hard pressed to find anything of worth in this 90 minute bomb.

Did not make me warm or cold. Meh it’s ok. No twist in the story, you could see everything from a mile away. Action was ok...

Jessica is good Nice movie 7/10

Ava is a fairly average and somewhat underwhelming action-thriller. The story follows an assassin whose boss tries to take her out when she becomes a liability after a job goes bad. Starring Jessica Chastain, John Malkovich, and Colin Farrell, the film has a solid cast that gives decent performances. However, the script is rather weak, cluttering the plot a bit with inane family drama. Still, the fight scenes are pretty good and well-choreographed; though there are fewer than one would expect for this type of film. Ava delivers some thrills, but overall it’s rather rote and predictable.

Ultimately it's just another action movie about a super assassin. It's good enough that if you're looking for simple entertainment, it'll do.

Chastain does a fine job and really pulls off the femme fatale role, whether she's delivering spin kicks or trying to make sense of her family history. She's the main reason to watch this movie, but there's only so much for her to work with.

Weixler also turns in a nice performance. Farrell is pretty good, Malkovich does adequately Malkovich things, and Common also appears in the film.

I can imagine the pitch meeting where Chastain agreed to do this one. "You've seen action movies about assassins before, but what happens to their families and the lives they left behind? What if we really explored how those people are affected? Also we'll pay you a whole bunch and give you several months of free hollywood-style personal training."

Absolutely predictable plot. Great fight scenes.

This movie just had no heartbeat

Bland, illogical character behaviour, uninspiring choreography, no plot twists or thrilling reveals.

In short, nothing special.

Jessica tried the action genre, it's not for her. Also the story is bad.

So the primary problem I have with this film, beyond the poor acting by the stars, is that the characters all suck. I have no interest in any of them and am actively rooting against the main character. Chastain is an adequate actress, but she is just not good in this. Farrell and Malkovich are both good, but have small parts and are basically playing the same roles they have played many times before. Davis is good, but has a shit role. Common is probably the most likeable in this movie and probably the only character I even moderately care about. I certainly don't care at all for Weixler. I keep hoping she will be collateral damage.

I was expecting the typical cookie cutter formula for this and instead found it to be filled with characters thst had depth and a solid storyline.

Jessica Chastain: Hey, let's make one of those movies about a badass woman with a kickass job that instead focuses on her romance and family drama.

There was more action than I expected, but they could've tried to make it at least a little original...

Less than the sum of its parts. Credible cast, reasonable premise, but somehow limp and listless. "Written by Matthew Newton" must play a significant part.

[spoiler]There is no twist - paint by numbers.[/spoiler]

This was painful to watch. Terrible.
