On the action front, however, Kraven does succeed in giving some pretty brutal action pieces. The fights are well-choreographed and well-shot in various scenes. When the film isn’t going on about it’s story and focusing on the “hunting” aspect of Kraven, the film does really well. Only a few fights were more CGI than practical, but I’ve often come to expect that from these films. If you enjoy a decent fight scene, you'll get plenty of that in this film 

Kraven is played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who does his best with the script he is given. His accents in the film are jarring as he goes from an American accent to the Russian voice that the Kraven character is more known for. He uses the American accent more than the Russian one in the film, which made me see him more as a generic superhero than Kraven. Russel Crowe joins him as his father, Nikolai, who stays with a Russian accent throughout the film. I would’ve preferred Russel Crowe more as Kraven than Aaron, and I believe that if the film had been made a few years earlier, he would have been the perfect actor for Kraven in a Spider-Man movie. 

Ariana DeBose and Fred Hechinger act as support in the film as Calypso and Kraven’s brother, Dimitri. Ariana’s performance was perfectly serviceable to the story, but it felt like Fred was hardly trying. The same can be said for the film’s villain, The Rhino, played by Alessandro Nivola, whose performance ranged from passable to hilariously bad. One scene had him randomly screeching for some reason in what I believe to be a serious scene, though it came off as hilariously weird.
