Mercenaries mercenary, but not effectively, and survivors band together for revenge.

It’s a solid violence-filled thriller more in the American style than Indonesian, so it’s good but not great.

A guy is hunted by a past he has amnesia from.

A straightforward plot with similar actors playing the similar roles from other movies, making this blend into a multi-movie mood. Highly recommended.

I truly had no fucking clue what was going on most of the way through, it was just gritty insanity.

God fucking damn this is intense. Fuck!

Years ago, a city was shaken by two super-brothers having a super-spat, but their legend lives on in a gang whose leader wants to continue the fight.

It’s not particularly superhero and doesn’t really establish any sort of franchise. It’s not bad, and it’s not great; it’s just fine. It’s vanilla, and sometimes that’s just what you want.

  • Trailer
  • A single woman gets hurt on-screen and a single woman dies off-screen; equality!

Stuff and a guy does things and there’s a guy who likes riddles for some reason.

Nothing is explained. This is about as interesting as it’s color scheme.

Some idiots go grave robbing to protect a thing, leading bad guys there to steal the thing, then a worse guy shows up, then assholes some fight instead of talk, and there is some dialog throughout and with all the action and dead men, no women are even hurt; equality!

Meh. Big fucking meh with a weak script, acting, story.. everything is just weak.

The gods are real and deposited horrifying trinkets, one of which falls into the hands of a ne’er-do-well who abuses it to the great misfortune of everyone.

God damn Gal Gadot is beautiful. Also there is a movie which isn’t half bad.

A man’s fiancĂ© is kidnapped, and he and his friend move to rescue her from what turns out to be ancient Chinese mystical forces.

A phenomenal movie. Fun and interesting. The acting is great, the story is great, the setting is great. I easily consider this mandatory viewing, and I think it holds up even after all these years.
