So this was the last of the 4 movies released in a short span of time by this company name Tiger Style Media. I am assuming all 4 movies were filmed at the same time (or close to each other) so they could be released as a bundle kinda.

The last one was Lady Scorpions starring Martial Arts Legend Cynthia Rothrock but also Caitlin Dechelle wich is also starring in this one. I praised Miss Dechelle on her last movie for both fights/action and acting despite the shortcomings on the movie.

In this movie, altough she wasn't bad by any mean, she could not showcase anything. She had limited acting scenes and the fights were kinda underwhelming. And that goes for all the cast.

But i am getting ahead of myself. Lets start by the beginning.

So the cast is thrown into this "place" for lack of a better word wich is reminiscent of various movies where you see a bunch of peoples not knowing each others being thrown into a situation. Ok. They have to escape some kind of "capsule" and are thrown into an hostile environement where the first fight is waiting for them.

Overall the movie start as generic as it can be. It does give you more informations on all the protagonist as it move along, but its never enough to make you care for them by any means.

Remember the movie Predators by Robert Rodriguez? The third movie in the Predator franchise? They were a bunch of strangers thrown into an hostile environement and had to work together against the Predators... Despite that movie not being as good as the original, it still had its merit, and i got into the cast because i got to know them and care for them. In this one, i never really cared for anyone much.

Im not gonna go into details on everyone roles but more or less they all competent fighters who have to go from room to room to beat some bad guys and survive while being filmed and some voice tell them what to do. Yes this as been done to death. One of the movie that came to my mind while watching it was Tai Chi Master with Keanu Reeves.

There is nothing original in the story, its the same reharsh you seen before and just a pretext to some martial arts. The bad guy is extremely forgivable.

So you follow your cast of "heroes" and they fights, but yet you never really care that much for anyone as none of them appear that interesting. Mike the SAS veteran is probably the most compelling character, trying to rally everyone as a unit, but still i kinda didn't cared..

But what about the fights? Thats what matter right? Well they ain't anything special. They ain't terrible, but they never really look like they pack a punch. They just happen and look like some generic fight choreographies. This is no Isaac Florentine movie ...

Ultimately it kinda was a throw away movie that i just didn't cared... Even tough the stakes were high technically (they fough for their lives), there was no compelling bad guy, no compelling backstory to our heroes, no reason for me to wish they make it, and it sadden me to say it.

I have a feeling the peoples behind these 4 movies are passionate for Martial Arts and wanted to make something fun for fans like me, but it didn't really connected, despite a good effort from the cast.

I think the first thing to blame were the poor scripts, especially this one, but also a lack of vision in direction to make the fights hard hitting and compelling.

Looking back i think i was a bit too lenient on the other movies because of my love for martial arts or the cast (Cynthia Rothrock and Caity Lotz), and altough im not gonna change my ratings, ill give that one a 5 out of 10. Because its as average as it can be. And if you read this out of Letterboxd it will get the yellow heart but only because it didn't bored me, even if its very generic. But i can't give it a 6 out of 10 cause i feel it was the weaker script of the 4 movies.

Now maybe i am bold saying this, but i think i could make a better script in a few months. Im no director, no fights choreographer, no martial artist (exept on very amateur level), but i could write a compelling script with interesting characters. Maybe it wouldn't be the most original script ever, but peoples would care for these characters, and ultimately, its the biggest fault i saw in this movie, i just didn't care for them.

That said, i always welcome more Martial Arts movie, and as harsh as this review could seem (i had to be honest), i didn't hate this movie by any means. I hope this company make more, but please get better writers and don't hesitate to contact me, ill be happy to help you and for FREE !

Some people just don't like to leave a 1/10 in ratings because there's always something worse (there is something worse than this movie somewhere out there sadly). These are the people that saves movies like this to show a solid 1 as a rarting.

Thanks to fake raters this got as high as 4.5. That's the only way this movie could have gotten a score over 2 from anyone.

My guess here would be that the 10/10's are either from the crew behind this lousy movie or that they just bought some scores (probably a mix of both).

There is (at the time of writing this) 3 full reviews of this movie. Two of them give it the 1/10 it deserves with perfect explanations to why and one give it a 10/10 with glowing review that in no way is what this movie give you.

Strangely the 10/10 reviewer have a name made up like from a bot, is a week old account and only ever made a review on this movie.

I think that says it all.

NOW THE ACTUAL REVIEW OF THE MOVIE: It's crap and isn't even worth the time of a review. If I could give it a minus 10 I would.

The acting and fighting is like watching bad wrestling mike work and match. Terrible just terrible. I couldn't watch this for more that 10 mins and now I have to go and bleach my eyeballs. It's like it was made by a high school media department. Unless it's supposed to be. Parody which it's clearly not. It's a serious movie with the worst most predictable plot in the world.
