the script and dialogue are rudimentary at best.. But first-time director Oeding, a veteran stuntman, clearly knows how to effectively shoot an action sequence
Lin Oeding's Braven is the kind of 90s punch-in-the-mouth action flick us genre fans fight tooth-and-nail to find nowadays. A deliciously junkfood Jason Momoa centerpiece that could be wedged right between Commando and Cobra watches

a solid, fast-paced action-thriller ...Director Lin Oeding's stunt background serves him well; the stripped-down action, fights and stunt work here feel like the real deal instead of effects-heavy marvels of editing
