I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreIt is what it is.An action flick, with some backstory.If you enjoy martial arts, kick some ass, don't worry about the names, style of movies, you'll enjoy this.The religious element is heavy-handed at times, but, no problem, that's the conflict element of the plot.Worth the 99 minutes, which is more than I can say for many movies in this vein, or other, more self-righteous, holier-than-thou releases. (See what I did there?)
View MoreFirst of i want to make it clear that i only watch this movie because the main character Marko Zaror will face off with Scott Adkins one of my favorite martial artist/actor in the upcoming Savage Dog and you guys know what this movie indeed a little surprise.I may not familiar with some of Marko older stuff but with this movie i finally know what this guy capable of and it bloody awesome.With the title like Redeemer you may think it had a heavily religious aspect but in the other hand it quite a violent action movie with a very depressing theme.The action scene is very well choreographed with some of the best hitting sound i see in this kind of movie,every time Marko show up on screen his charm and badassness always caught me off guard when he slay enemies room to room leaving a bloody mess behind.The negative for this movie is although he really good at fighting but he terribly at cover up the trace lead up to the death of many people he saved which i find very dumb and stupid.The bad guys is also very annoying when the movie always cut back to a American drug dealer that keep making unfunny joke and a guy that support to be the big thread to the main character but he barely show up until the final fight and in some flashback scene to remind the viewer how bad he is
View MoreNot going to extend myself throwing flowers to this movie because probably, many of those words have already filled your mind after watching it. But lets just stick to a well made Martial Arts B-Movie with nice shootings scenes and combat, fast paced action that, as said before, will definitely leave you with at least one of those "damn! that hurt!" moments. not going to throw some spoilers but for those martial arts fans out there, you will find a very memorable fight/combate scene with some of the "minions" in which both displayed an amazing mixed martial art choreography, going from some MMA , BJJ, JKD-ish style with a great finale. Very recommended. Let's start supporting this rising honest talent to the place he belongs. Support the film. enjoy the fun.
View MoreAction fans may remember Marko Zaror from "Undisputed III" . If you loved that movie and other great martial arts action films of the recent past like "The Raid" or "Ninja II", you will definitely enjoy "Redeemer". Marko Zaror further proves how underrated of an action star he really is in this solid B-movie which features wall-to-wall action packed, violent fights from start to finish that will have you saying holy sh*t at least once. The action and fights are inventive and feel fresh, gritty and realistic compared to most PG-13, shaky cam and CGI bloated action films that come out of Hollywood. Fans know that in these types of low budget B movies, story/character typically come secondary. surprisingly enough, the story is engaging and plays out like a classic western. The character is also given a little more depth and back story than you'd typically expect. This is one of the best and at the same time least known action movies you will see all year. Fans of such modern action stars like Scott Adkins, Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa. Welcome Marko Zaror to the club as he proves he can kick some serious ass. Overall, for the real action fans out there, your faith in modern action movies just may be redeemed after watching this !8/10
