Avoid if expecting fight scenes...

I should have read a review or something before watching. I just saw Scott Adkins was in it and decided to give it a try.

Boy, am I sorry. Story is bad. Acting is really bad. CG are really really bad.

I don't understand why get 2 big martial arts actors for this film (besides tricking people like me - fans - into watching it).

I am not criticizing it because it's low budget. Most of SA's films are low budget, but you can sit down and enjoy them. This was just plain bad and has no redeeming factor.

Sorry SA... bad choice :(

He made this while recovering from knee surgery and was looking for a less action oriented role

Normally i watch Adkins movies as soon as they release, and i enjoy the Lundgren DTV also. Much like Seagal and Van Damme, i rent it, watch it with booze for what it is and have a fun little time.

But this one, i fear it will take a while before i watch it. I mean... the concept is ok if it would be a big production, but i don't crave low budget monster movies... the creature looks terrible in those...

And i got to admit when you see these 2 guys, you expect some martial arts, an action movie, thats just such a waste to put them in that kind of movie...

I know Dolph ain't young anymore, and your more likely gonna see him shoot guns than do martial arts, but he can still pull a brawling as long as its not too long. Adkins is just the best fighter on screen at the moment, so cmon...

In any case, ill watch it one day i know, but will surely not be anytime soon...

Alice is the worst character of all time, she need to die in the last movie. Chris/Jill are RE !!!
