A whore befriends a man with a particular skillset.
Straightforward and fair. Recommended for people who like the general genre.

Learning of his brother’s life-threatening injury, a prisoner escapes and falls into street fighting to buy his way back to his family.
This is a strange example that not all martial arts movies are either action or thriller. This is decent bubblegum if you’re into this style of movie. It’s not cheesy, it’s just dated.

It’s actually subtitled as “Lyonheart”.

A poor village is robbed, and a young man sets out to retrieve the village’s most prized possession.
Quite good and holds up well. In context there were very few movies of this grit out at the time, and it really made waves.

- aka Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior
- If you want to set down this path, check out /tag/tony-jaa and The Raid – (2011 movie) (with all the recommendations therein).

Note that Ong Bak 2 – (2008 movie) is not a sequel. There is no sequel, and I’m not trying to be funny about this. It literally is not a sequel or related in any way.

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.
- Trailer
- This is mixed Chinese, Indonesian, and English.

The future world is screwed, and humans struggle to survive in a poisoned world filled with monstrous insects.
About as good as you’d expect for a Japanimated movie from 1984, which is damned good.
- Original title: Kaze no tani no Naushika
- based on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind – (1982 manga)

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.

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

A man’s dog son is killed, and he plays the long game to find the killers to avenge him.
Kinda plodding, but okay I guess. It’s likeable but a bit flat. Don’t watch it unless you’re into .. I don’t even know what genre this is. I guess unless you’re into Jason Statham.

The Trade Federation blockades a peaceful planet, and decisive action is required to bring political and military strength to bear.
An astonishing improvement on the original. Even though it’s lower visual quality than it’s original can be, it’s worth a watch. Very highly recommended especially to fans of the original trilogy who were disappointed by this new trilogy.
- Properly titled Star Wars Episode I.II: The Phantom Edit
- Trailer for the original
- This is an edit of Star Wars – Episode I – The Phantom Menace – (1999 movie)

A semi-slave girl dreams of true love, but must struggle to prove she is the one.
Adorable.
