Ever since his screen debut as Jason Ioane in the action series Baywatch: Hawaii, Jason Momoa has slowly worked his way to the very top of Hollywood. Thanks to his performance as the intense Khal Drogo in the first season of the beloved Game of Thrones, Momoa finally made his breakthrough, with his later casting as the DCEU's Aquaman cementing him as a Hollywood mainstay.
Most recently, the Hawaii-born actor's starring role alongside Dave Bautista in Prime Video's The Wrecking Crew rose to the top of the streaming charts, with its popularity making a sequel highly likely. However, as is the case with any popular actor, not all of their films look destined to stand the test of time. One of Momoa's more forgotten action flicks, and one of his most underrated performances, came in the neo-Western Braven, directed by Lin Oeding and written by Mike Nilon and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett. Sporting a lead turn from Momoa that is surprisingly soft and passive compared to his usual no-nonsense, charismatic performances, Braven deserves more love than it first received when released in early February 2018. For anyone looking to give Braven a try, you're in luck, as the film is about to head to a new streamer. Starting April 1, you'll be able to watch Braven on the free streaming site Tubi, joining the long list of other exciting content joining the platform, including the cult classic fantasy hit I, Frankenstein and Dwayne Johnson's straight-to-DVD flick Empire State, and more. A synopsis of Braven reads: "A logger and his father head to their hunting cabin, hoping for a quiet weekend. Instead, they find themselves in a kill-or-be-killed stand for survival when they encounter a gang of ruthless drug traffickers."

Posts By Macklen Makhloghi What Did Critics Say About 'Braven'? Most action flicks lost to time received a poor critical reception. This is not the case with Braven, with the film earning a strong average score of 80% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. One critic wrote,"If you've had a hard day and want to watch something to restore your sense of justice in this world, then Braven has all the boxes well and truly ticked," with another proclaiming that"there's plenty about this tiny action effort to stand up and cheer."
