    All the bad things

    Very bad english dialogue accent, guessable classic story, too many weird music played in background, boring fights, unrealistic gun holding

    Solid tactical action movie

    William Kaufman is one of my favorites B-movie director working nowadays because he really knows how to bring the fun out of a cliche storyline with his long shootout scenes and a good cast and I'm pleased to announce that The Brave (2019) his latest project is also a ton of fun and look way better than most low-budget Cops 'n' Crooks right now. There are many shootout scenes in this movie just like I expected and although the CG blood may look bad the shootout still very easy to track plus an excellent performance from both Louis Mandylor and Armand Assante make this movie more worth watching in my opinion

    ONLY THE BRAVE

    Good Guys clean out the Bad Guys, with much dissension and betrayal constantly dogging Our Heroes, You've seen this all before, but probably not in Albania

    Good acting and top-level action very admirably produced for a budget film, For all intents and purposes the plot is over 2/3 of the way thru, so don't expect any surprises after that, just non-stop action thru the end

    Didn't knew Albanian first native language was English

    It's a fun blast for a B FILM.

    Nothing new except based in Albania with English speaking actors mostly from Hollywood and few from Russia, shot in Albania but not funded by Albania production all main actors aren't Albania but playing as Albanian characters, only Albania actors were the police armd forces and the extras.

    I would say should had brought Albanian speaking actors too do the job instead non related Albania actors🇺🇲🇷🇺. Just I think it would had been more Albanian, if they brought Albanian speaking actors. I'm not Albanian for your information just would prefer native tongue like when the romans spoken posh English in Gladiator because everyone knows the Romans were British.

    Mandylor Always Watchable

    Also known as "The Brave". This Albanian film is about the attempt to oust organized crime from an evolving Albania and the police headlining this challenge. Louis Mandylor stars and is strong as an American educated police officer who is undercover. Armand Assante is hyperbolic in his role as an Italian mobster in Albania. It's watchable action.
