Humint (2026) Review
Director: Ryoo Seung-wan Cast: Zo In-Sung, Park Jeong-Min, Park Hae-Joon, Shin Se-Kyung, Lee Shin-Ki, Jung Eugene, Park Myung-Shin, Kim Eui-Sung, Jang Hyun-Sung Running Time: 119 min. By Paul Bramhall It’s been 13 years since director Ryoo Seung-wan helmed The Berlin File, a murky espionage action thriller that revolved around a quartet of characters – a South Korean agent and a trio of North Koreans, two of them operatives, one of … Continue reading
Silent Rage (1982) Review
Director: Michael Miller Cast: Chuck Norris, Ron Silver, Steven Keats, Toni Kalem, William Finley, Brian Libby, Stephen Furst, Joyce Ingle, Jay De Plano, Lillette Zoe Raley, Mike Johnson Running Time: 100 min. By Z Ravas Can I just say that I love the idea that someone went to see John Carpenter’s Halloween in 1978 and said, “That was great, the only thing it was missing was Chuck Norris!” Yes, I’ve … Continue reading

Panda Plan: The Magical Tribe (2026) Review
Director: Derek Hui Cast: Jackie Chan, Ma Li, Qiao Shan, Rongguang Yu, Yinglu Wang, Tian Qiu, Yang Yu Running Time: 100 min. By Paul Bramhall In 2024 Jackie Chan hit a career low (one which is only rivalled by Kung Fu Yoga) with Panda Plan, a movie which – in the words of my own review from the time – was a “charmless affair devoid of any purpose or entertainment … Continue reading
Dogora (1964) Review
Director: Ishiro Honda Cast: Yosuke Natsuki, Yoko Fujiyama, Hiroshi Koizumi, Nobuo Nakamura, Robert Dunham, Akiko Wakabayashi, Jun Tazaki, Seizaburo Kawazu Running Time: 83 min. By Z Ravas While watching those classic Godzilla movies where hundreds of civilians are fleeing the city due to an imminent kaiju attack, did you ever think about how there are detectives down on those streets who still have cases their bosses expect them to solve, … Continue reading
Project Y (2026) Review
Director: Lee Hwan Cast: Han So-Hee, Jun Jong-Seo, Kim Shin-Rok, Kim Sung-Cheol, Kim Sung-cheol Running Time: 110 min. By Paul Bramhall It’s always interesting to watch a director who’s primarily worked in the independent scene have the opportunity to helm a mainstream production. The likes of Jo Sung-hee would go from the lo-fi post-apocalyptic road movie End of Animal to helming Werewolf Boy, Phantom Detective, and Space Sweepers. Yeon Sang-ho … Continue reading

Director: Tak Se-woong Cast: Joo Hyun-young, Jeon Bae-soo, Choi Bo-min, Kim Woo-kyum, Kim Na-yeon Running Time: 94 min. By Paul Bramhall Spend any amount of time in the world of 21st century Asian horror cinema, and you’ll soon realise that practically any enclosed space can become haunted. From elevators to toilet cubicles to school corridors – nowhere is safe if a vengeful spirit is on the loose. So it shouldn’t … Continue reading
Mexicali (2026) Review
Director: Luke LaFontaine Cast: Bren Foster, Tania Raymonde, Plutarco Haza, Kris Van Damme, Louis Mandylor Running Time: 99 min. By Z Ravas Mexicali is a movie that knows precisely what its audience wants and decides to give it to them without delay. It’s been two short years since Bren Foster broke out on the international action scene with Life After Fighting, and the filmmakers behind Mexicali understand that fans are … Continue reading

Forbidden City, The (2025) Review
Director: Gabriele Mainetti Cast: Yaxi Liu, Enrico Borello, Marco Giallini, Sabrina Ferilli, Shanshan Chunyu, Elisa Wong Running Time: 139 min. By Paul Bramhall Is there another city in Europe that has more connection to the kung-fu genre than Rome? I’m going to say no. From providing the classic backdrop to Bruce Lee’s directorial debut Way of the Dragon in 1972, it would go on to inspire several other productions to … Continue reading

Director: Dennis Yu Cast: Lau Kar-Leung, Joann Tang Lai-Ying, Mark Cheng Ho-Nam, Wong Jing, Hsu Shu-Yuen, Stuart Ong, Tom Poon Chun-Wai, Teresa Ha Ping Running Time: 91 min. By Z Ravas A textbook example of the free-spirited Hong Kong genre medley, one of those movies like A Chinese Ghost Story or Mr. Vampire that willfully tosses action, horror, and comedy into a blender and sees what results. The plot of … Continue reading

Dead Camping the Live (2022) Review
Director: Kim Hyun-woo Cast: Nam Jihyun, Lee Jae-seok, Lee Pu Reum, Kim Jung Joo, Jo Myung-haeng, Jeong In-gi, Dong-Hyung Kim, Rim-Hoo Kim, Seung-Jae Won, Big Alex Running Time: 72 min. By Paul Bramhall Ladened with the kind of grammatically challenged title that feels like it came straight out of 80’s or 90’s Hong Kong cinema, 2022’s Dead Camping the Live is a low budget entry in the rape-revenge genre, a … Continue reading

Martial Law (1991) Review
Director: Steve Cohen Cast: Cynthia Rothrock, Chad McQueen, David Carradine, Vincent Craig Dupree, Andy McCutcheon, Philip Tan, James Lew, Tony Longo, Patricia Wilson, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez, Professor Toru Tanaka, John Fujioka Running Time: 89 min. By Lauren Weiner Martial Law is a chronically under-loved action flick, one that perfectly embodies the so-bad-it’s-good sub-genre of early ‘90s action movies. Detectives Sean Thompson (Chad McQueen) and Billie Blake (Cynthia Rothrock) chase … Continue reading
