In “Ava” Jessica Chastain plays an assassin who has a weird fascination with chatting with her targets before and after she offs them. This seems to annoy Colin Farrell who believes she has become a liability to their ‘organization’. He puts an open contract on her life much to the chagrin of her mentor John Malkovich. Toss Geena Davis and Common into the mix and you have the upcoming action thriller from director Tate Taylor.
Obviously there is more to the story (at least I hope so). But I gotta say it looks like something we have seen before. Maybe a little John Wick-ish? Regardless, Taylor puts together an interesting cast and I have no doubt Chastain will make for a tough, compelling lead. It’ll all come down to the script and whether it can carve out its own unique space in the familiar territory.
“Ava” is set to release September 25th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Jessica Chastain as an assassin? I’m in. It might not be great but anything that is better than having her talk like a monotone robot in Dark Phoenix. I saw some of her performance in that film and…. ugh… why?
She’s a really good selling point, isn’t she? 👍🏼
DAMMIT, it sure as heck looks like that trailer gave away a vital spoiler. Will see this one as a free library rental.
I didn’t think about that. It does kinda tell too much. Hope I didn’t ruin it for ya.
No, I’ll still watch it. It has “my man” in it (Colin.) lol
Ha!
I’m in, right up my street! 😊
I’m anxious to give it a shot.
This looks like something I’ve seen several times before but mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Colin Farrell.
Ahhhh, the main attraction right?
Looks good to me. I either like or dislike her performances. We shall see!
Yep. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
I love Jessica Chastain so I’ll definitely be giving this one a watch.
Chastain definitely adds appeal.
