This Intense Jason Momoa Movie Is Crushing It On Netflix Right Now

Without wanting to give too much away, Braven (which currently has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 77 percent) seems to fit the bill as a Christmas movie for our times for a number of reasons. First off, it stars Jason Momoa as a lumberjack, complete with the beard and plaid shirts that continue to permeate 2020 fashion, as Men's Journal reports. COVID-19 has certainly forced the world to embrace isolation, and nature walks have emerged as the go-to lockdown stress reliever. Then there's the adoption of woodland-evoking folk by major pop artists like Taylor Swift (per the Indian Express). The whole package is so very on-trend that it seems to answer the question all by itself.

The plot finds Momoa's Joe Braven defending his family against a drug gang who have just so happen to have hidden a truckload of cocaine at his isolated (2020ish), snow-clad (Christmassy) cabin (folk-like). The movie's hero, armed Hunger Games-style with a bow and arrow, goes up against very bad guys, while looking great and wilderness-competent in the snow. The old political adage seems to hold true: in times of crisis, we all go looking for a strongman. And who in the world is stronger than the big man himself, Jason Momoa?
