Always love Jessica! Good pace, and kept you involved. It was great to see Gina Davis in this as well.

Much better than reviewed, this movie appears to suffer from severe critic-itis, where familiarity breeds contempt for narrative and entertainment value. This is basically Atomic Blonde 2.0. Jessica Chastain watches Charlize Theron produceMuch better than reviewed, this movie appears to suffer from severe critic-itis, where familiarity breeds contempt for narrative and entertainment value. This is basically Atomic Blonde 2.0. Jessica Chastain watches Charlize Theron produce and star in Atomic Blonde. She says, "I could do this; and maybe, do it better." I suspect the bad-ass female Bond-spy-assasain--done with any integrity--starts with Luc Besson's La Femme Nikita (1990), perhaps the most likely pop-culture origin of the Marvel movies Black Widow. Then we have Hanna (2011) and Atomic Blonde (2017) among a few others. Ava (2020) is in this line. It betters Atomic Blonde in its character development and sequel set-up. It falls short of Atomic Blonde in fight chereography. Jessica generously gives the best lines and good scenes to her supporting cast--not often done. Geena Davis has the most surprising character arc of the film. Jessica chose her scritpwriter with care, All Matthew Newton's scripts are about real people with real emotions--not Michael Bay cardboard cutouts. Ava is about people also, bettering Atomic blonde on this count also. Colin Farrel and John Malkovich are at their best, not phoning in their performances. The end has Jessica in an interesting feminine twist on Terminator unlike anything in recent memory and nothing like Cameron's female terminators. Nicely done I say. Good narrative set-up for a sequel. Expand

I actually liked it. Action was good and the plot was good. Would love to see a part 2. I get surprised at what gets good reviews and what doesn't. Some movies that are just horrible get good reviews and good movies get bad reviews. PeopleI actually liked it. Action was good and the plot was good. Would love to see a part 2. I get surprised at what gets good reviews and what doesn't. Some movies that are just horrible get good reviews and good movies get bad reviews. People always saying there an hidden messages. But if the movie can't explain it within the movie then to me it sucks. I don't want to say what the f did I just watch & have to look up the meaning on the internet. This one was clear. For a Netflix movie it's better than others. Expand

I really liked the proposal of the film, besides showing a lot of action it still develops the character well, Ava really "kick asses"
