# Kraven The Hunter 2024 review
Villains aren't born, they're created by big corporations to star in movies that are meant to be anti-heroes, because real heroes never appear in those movies. The latest challenger to the ring that connects everything to the web is Kraven the Hunter, the sixth entry in SSU. Enjoy this movie on [Flixtor Film](https://theflixtor.vip/).


In this action thriller, Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the title character, also known as Sergei Kravinoff, a prisoner and conservationist who gained superhuman powers as a teenager after being brought back to life by a healing serum after being attacked by a lion during a poaching trip.

When Kraven's younger brother Dmitri is kidnapped by Russian gangster Alexei Sytsevich - who calls himself Rhino because he can transform into a human-rhino hybrid with the help of his special serum - Kraven must confront his father Nikolai, a Russian overlord and the existence of a drug empire that Kraven left to Dmitri after he gained power. Pursued by Rhino and his powerful assassin, the Foreigner, Kraven must find a way to turn the tables, he teams up with Calypso Ezili, the lawyer and voodoo priestess who gave him the healing serum years ago. Levi Miller and Billy Barratt play Sergei and Dmitri as teenagers.

Being aware of your expectations is very important to your movie-going experience, but in the case of this particular film, it cannot be overstated that the film is directed by J.C. Chandor and written by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Richard Wenk based on Wenk's novel, which is based on a Marvel comic. The first good news for everyone and for you is that this film is not as badly made as the space sidekick Madame Web, which had its expectations set very low earlier this year. No one in the cast gives terrible performances, but Crowe focuses only on his accent work. None of them are professional, Taylor-Johnson goes all out on this one, Nivola actually makes some bold decisions that are rarely seen in movies these days, Abbott has a cool presence, and DeBose also does the best she can with the unusual lines and situations that her character is facing.

Cinematically, it's no embarrassment. It's not as ugly-looking as Venom: The Last Dance, but it can be just as messy at times as that project. And, yes, to be fair, there is some questionable ADR, but thankfully it's not enough to swallow the performance whole, like Madame Web. Chandor and cinematographer Ben Davis make effective use of real locations throughout much of the running time, especially in the action sequences. This goes a long way in grounding the spectacle, especially since the visual effects don't always achieve the intended grittiness and realism the film is going for. Most of them are completely harmless. Nothing to scream about, but also nothing you'll remember for months to come.
