Let the dust settle

An embarrassing thriller. Ava (Jessica Chastain) is all John Wick in a killing business. She's a hired gun, but after breaking protocol, she's got a target on her back. One of those movies that takes itself way too seriously and when it goes sideways the result is just ridiculous. Ava (aka Final Target) was produced by Freckle Films which is owned by the lead star Jessica Chastain and somehow I got a notion that she wanted to franchise herself as the new badass action star like Jason Bourne or John Wick. But frankly, even Steven Seagal makes better action movies.
