Boston plays a big role in Jessica Chastainâs newest action film, âAva.â
Filmed pre-pandemic in 2018, the movie follows Ava Faulkner (Chastain), a rogue black ops agent fighting for her survival after breaking protocol at a hit job. It found a home in the Netflix Top 10 list this week â to the delight of thriller fans everywhere.
The flick features locations in Boston, Worcester, Gloucester, Lynn, Charlestown, Wayland, and Spencer. (At one point, viewers can even spot the Globeâs Sept. 25, 2018 issue on a table.)

Penny Slinger: Out Of The Shadows, the incredible, untold story of the British artist Penny Slinger and the traumatic events that led to the creation of her masterpiece, the 1977 photo-romance,

So powerful was her vision that fifty years later her work is still influencing contemporary artists.
Imagine, if you will, an action thriller about a globe-trotting female assassin played by Jessica Chastain. And imagine that she’s joined by a killer cast that includes John Malkovich, Geena Davis, and Colin Farrell. Add to that director Tate Taylor, who has already delivered solid, if less than inspired work in films like
Get On Up and
The Girl on the Train. With everything going for it, Ava should have been an entertaining film.
But like many before it,
Ava completely misses the mark. The set-up is simple: Skilled assassin and recovering alcoholic Ava (Chastain) travels the world killing wealthy, influential people for money. When a hit gets botched, her boss Simon (Colin Farrell) wants her erased, despite the protestations of her mentor/father figure Duke (John Malkovich). Amidst this career crisis, Ava returns home to Boston, where she reunites with her estranged family: sister Judy (Jess Weixler), mom Bobbi (Geena Davis), and former fiancée Michael (Common), who is now
