By Z Ravas On some level, you gotta feel for Lewis Tan.

Lone Samurai (2025) Review
Director: Josh C. Waller Cast: Shogen, Yayan Ruhian, Sumire Ashina, Rama Ramadhan, Faisal Rachman, Fatih Unru Running Time: 95 min. By Paul Bramhall The release of Lone Samurai marks the first significant production to see Iko Uwais at work behind the camera – it’s presented by his production company Uwais Team, he’s one of the executive producers, and the Uwais Stunt Team are there to deliver on the action.

Paradise Z | aka Dead Earth (2020) Review
AKA: Two of Us Director: Wych Kaosayananda Cast: Milena Gorum, Alice Tantayanon, Michael S. New, Brian Migliore, Lee Mason Running Time: 90 min. By Paul Bramhall In the closing scenes of 2019’s The Driver, the final entry (and first to be released – best not to ask) in director Wych Kaosayananda’s post-apocalyptic zombie trilogy, we’re introduced to a pair of zombie hunting femme fatales in the form of Milena Gorum … Continue reading
Bang (2025) Review
Director: Wych Kaosayananda Cast: Jack Kesy, Peter Weller, Tristin Mays, Kane Kosugi, Elliot Allison, Paul Mann, Steve Bastoni Running Time: 88 min. By Paul Bramhall Being a fan of director Wych Kaosayananda can be a tough gig, or at least, that’s what I assume. Since returning in 2012 after a 10-year hiatus following 2002’s Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, if there’s one thing that’s become apparent, it’s that getting a production … Continue reading

By Paul Bramhall Under any other circumstance if someone told me in 2025 that they’d just watched a Philippines shot jungle actioner set during World War II, my assumption would be that another Bruno Mattei helmed Italian … Continue reading

Affinity (2025) Review
Director: Brandon Slagle Cast: Marko Zaror, Louis Mandylor, Brahim Chab, Brooke Ence, Jane Mirro, Elliott Allison Running Time: 81 min. By Paul Bramhall At the risk of showing my age, I’ve been following the trajectory of the Chilean Dragon Marko Zaror ever since he landed on action fans radars with the release of Kiltro in 2006, almost 20 years ago. A product of his native Chile, in the succeeding years … Continue reading

Director: Gareth Evans Cast: Tom Hardy, Timothy Olyphant, Forest Whitaker, Sunny Pang, Justin Cornwell, Luis Guzmán, Jessie Mei Li, Yeo Yann Yann, Quelin Sepulveda, Michelle Waterson, Gordon Alexander, John Cummins Running Time: 105 min. By Paul Bramhall Most of the audience for Havoc will consist of the average Netflix subscriber looking for their latest action fix, which isn’t a bad thing.

One such, still largely undiscovered, is filmmaker Leroy Nguyen, a man determined to pursue his unique creative vision and answering to no one in the process. A director whose movies are a microcosm, sometimes … Continue reading

Director: Aman Ergaziyev Cast: Timur Baktybayev, Irina Azhmukhamedova, Kuat Khamitov, Erkebulan Toktar, Riskul Konakbaev, Janelle Sergazina, Talgat Duisenov, Kuandyk Shakyrzhanov Running Time: 79 min. By Z Ravas 2023’s Kung Fu Rookie (AKA “Timuchin”) has a problem. No, it’s not the production values — the film looks sharp for a low-budget project out of Kazakhstan — nor is it the script necessarily, as this action/comedy has more than a few jokes … Continue reading

Director: Rob Cohen Cast: Jason Scott Lee, Lauren Holly, Nancy Kwan, Michael Learned, Lim Kay-tong, Ric Young, Luoyong Wang, John Cheung, Van Williams, Shannon Lee Running Time: 120 min. By Ian Whittle This is a film I enjoy a lot more unreservedly now than I did as a teen.

By Paul Bramhall Chances are if you’re a fan of Hong Kong action cinema, then John Woo’s 1989 classic The Killer is part of the reason why.
