He’s a big-time cinematic superhero, playing Aquaman in the
DC movie universe, but I have to say, I think Jason Momoa is best suited to low-budget,
direct-to-video-style action fare. Sure, he’s a ripped Adonis of a human being,
but he also has a relatable, everyman quality. And this is on full display in
Braven, a solid, reasonably entertaining, if unremarkable
new noir-inspired Canadian thriller. It scratches a very particular itch for
those longing for the types of beefy-father-protects-his-brood pictures
Schwarzenegger and Stallone turned out in the ‘80s.
