"Braven"

-


People in Vermont know a thing or two about the isolation that the mountains can have. Most of us are fine with it and even embrace it, but the downside to it is when you find yourself in a real situation where help can't come soon enough. Given the choice, what would you if you were faced with life or death? Would you take cover and hope help finds you, or would you stand your ground?

Joe Braven (Jason Momoa known better to fans as "Aquaman") is a hard working man living up near the boarder between Canada and the U.S. in the Pacific Northwest running a logging company to support his family, wife Stephanie (Jill Wagner) daughter Charlotte (Sasha Rossof) and his father who's mind is starting to go Linden (Stephen Lang). 
After his father gets into a bar fight due to his dementia, Stephanie suggest to take him up to their hunting cabin to talk about alternatives to caring for him in a place Linden is comfortable in. Unbeknownst to Joe, one of his truckers Weston (Brendan Fletcher) is secretly smuggling drugs over the border with drug trafficker Hallett (Zahn McClarnon) but when the truck crashes, they stash the drugs in the cabin's shed. 
Discovering that Joe and his father are up there, their boss Kassen (Garret Dillahunt) and his men descend upon the cabin prepared to get their drugs back and leave no witnesses and matters only get complicated when Joe discovers Charlotte has stowed away with them putting more on the line. With only one road out, armed men surrounding them and the only cell service up at the top of the mountain, Joe must use his strength and knowledge of wilderness survival to protect his family if they hope to make it out alive.

Epically amazing. This action-packed drama makes your adrenaline rush and keep you guessing what will happen next. Jason Momoa's performance as a heroic family man only doing what he can to survive is well portrayed and makes you wonder if his heroic alter-ego Aquaman didn't follow him onto the set. A five G.M.Star performance guaranteed to make you want to hit the weights and take survival courses afterwards to become this awesome.
