A Good Man (2014) Review
Was director Keoni Waxman trying to tell us something through the production titles he helmed with Steven Seagal? A kind of DTV version of “blink twice if you need help”? When they first worked together in 2009 it seemed Waxman thought Seagal was A Dangerous Man, however 5 years in he’d changed his mind, indicating in 2014 that Seagal was in fact A Good Man, only for things to turn … Continue reading

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025) Review
Considering the elegance and beauty of ballet, in the world of cinema being a ballerina can often be a sign of danger. From Jeong Hye-gyeong’s taekwondo infused ballerina routine in 1977’s Secret Agents II, to Jennifer Lawrence’s seductive moves in 2018’s Red Sparrow, tutu’s have never seemed so lethal as when they appear on the big screen. In 2025 Ana De Armas would join their ranks in Ballerina, who after … Continue reading

Mortal Kombat II (2026) Review
You just know New Line was like, “we gotta get this out on VOD before The Furious hits theaters on Friday!” Which is my cheeky way of saying the fights in Mortal Kombat II are not very good, a truth that is made all the more glaring by the knowledge that choreographer Kensuke Sonomura and director Kenji Tanigaki are likely about to reshape the genre this weekend with their latest … Continue reading

By Z Ravas Contour is a 2006 independent martial arts comedy set in San Francisco, created by writer/director/producer/editor Eric Jacobus and his cohort of fellow martial artists and stunt performers who cheekily dub themselves The Stunt People.

Director: James Mark Cast: Orphée Ladouceur-Nguyen, Alain Moussi, Tim Rozon, Mitra Suri, Lisa Berry, Jonathan Goad, Jeff Yung, Paul Braunstein, Jason Cavalier, Phi Huynh Running Time: 93 min. By Z Ravas Canadian stuntman-turned-director James Mark has carved himself a reliable niche in the indie action space. He first made waves with 2017’s Kill Order, a compact Direct to Video effort that doubled as a 70-ish minute stunt demo reel for … Continue reading

Director: Attila Korosi Cast: Jiyeon Han, Anita Korosi, Won Hee Lee, Isabella Rose, Wondae Son, Shinyoung Moon, Eunhee Jeong, Joseph Kim, Jayden Moon-Dell, Hyonkuk Pak Running Time: 83 min. By Paul Bramhall In 2025 audiences were hit with the double whammy of the John Wick spin-off Ballerina, and the massively popular Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters, so it was perhaps only a matter of time before someone thought to combine … Continue reading

By Z Ravas It’s ‘Die Hard in a school’ starring Jino Kang! You know Jino Kang…right?

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

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

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

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

By Henry McKeand Steven Seagal is horrible. He’s horrible to stunt performers, he’s horrible to women, and he’s been a horrible screen presence for the vast majority of his career.

Director: Daniel Zirilli Cast: John Edward Lee, Byron Gibson, Pim Bubear, Dean Alexandrou, Michael Jai White, Ron Smoorenburg, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Nick Khan Running Time: 90 min. By Paul Bramhall I confess to being a fan of Steven Seagal’s movie output. Sure, depending on the era the kind of entertainment they deliver varies – the reasons you watch a 90’s Seagal movie are very different to the reasons you watch a … Continue reading

Ruthless Bastards (2025) Review
Director: Bruce Fontaine Cast: Sean Patrick Flanery, Casper Van Dien, Theresa Lee, Don Lew, Hasleen Kaur, Parmish Verma Running Time: 90 min. By Z Ravas As time marches on and brings changes with it, “progress” doesn’t always feel like progress; perhaps that’s why there’s something comforting about crime movies that feature aging tough guys who can reminisce about the good ‘ol days—before smartphones and social media—while still cracking heads. I’m … Continue reading
