Read the summary and add 1. Unnecessary foul language; 2. Slow start; 3. A subplot with Dad and his problems; 4. The bad guys are unnecessarily stupid; and, 5. Don't waste your time.

I'll admit, I waited to watch this movie until I just didn't have anything else to watch. I thought it was just going to be another Jason Mamoa badass action movie and honestly, from the trailers, it was made to look that way.
Right from the start I was proven wrong. Jason Mamoa was obviously in his element in this movie. I have never seen his acting so natural and fluid. Drop the super hero badass, the big bad badass, this guy can really act! I was continually impressed with even the change in his voice. So much more natural. And he was not a badass in this movie. He takes a lot of hits. He was a man of the wilderness who used his knowledge and ingrained need to protect his family to overcome the odds. Something that anyone with those skills could do.
I liked him SOOO much better in this movie and I hope he continues to do more. I know people like his big bad roles, and may not appreciate roles like these, but Jason, there are people who think you can be more than a deep voiced bad boy! This was awesome!

The film Braven has plenty in it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I'll just say it is one of the better films of the year. It's probably one of the better films you'll see in general. It does start off slow, but smartly so to build it up. When it gets moving you find yourself getting more and more engrossed. Not that I was underestimating this movie, it's just that it was more than I expected. Glad I gave it a chance and I highly recommend that you do the same. You won't be disappointed.
