bernhard-langers The German cover of this movie boldly advertises:"Saw meets Battle Royale". That is pretty much all you need to know, because from there it is just cheesy acting, lack of story and a combination of fight scenes. It is hard to hate this movie, after all you know what you're in for if you know the studio which released it. It contains such dialogue gems like "Four are more than one.", gently reminding the audience of the first grade/kindergarden. The choreography/fight scenes were rather well executed.It gets 3 out of 10 because it really is a trash film, if you are however into those go check it out, you might have a good laugh ;).

zetes Awful, cheapie martial arts flick made in Thailand. The majority of its stars are Asian, but almost all the dialogue is spoken in English. I presume the director is a German man, and the movie was certainly made for the international market. The plot has a group of assassins who have been kidnapped by a mysterious man (Gordon Liu) and pitted against each other. Ammara Siripong (who played Jeeja Yanin's cancer-stricken mother in Chocolate) is a pretty sexy star and a good martial artist (in general, the martial arts could be a bit more imaginative, though they aren't that bad). It looks for a while like American star Johnny Messner will be the co-star, but thankfully they realize he really sucks and the much better Tim Man takes over.

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Kill 'Em All" is a hang-over movie, plain and simple. There is almost no storyline connected to this movie, and it is basically just martial arts and action from the very first moment of the movie right up to the end credits.The so-called storyline is about a group assassins who are captured by a mysterious man and forced to battle against one another, with the loser forfeiting his life in defeat. But the small group of assassins manages to break free and will now track down their capturer.Yeah, that was basically the entire movie wrapped up in a couple of lines.The martial arts in "Kill 'Em All" wasn't all that bad, but there are far better martial arts movies available. Some of these so-called assassins could have used a bit more training and coaching, because their fighting skills didn't really come off as believable or good enough for supporting them as assassins.As for the acting in the movie, well it was next to not existing. This is a martial arts and action movie and acting is put in the background. No doubt about it."Kill 'Em All" is good for some fun when you need to unhook your brain and just watch some senseless action.

grandmastersik Simple premise: 8 assassins wake up in a room and are ordered to kill each other or be killed.Okay, so with a story that has all the makings of a kick-arse B-flick, a beautiful woman for the boys to drool over and some skilled martial artists to boot, why not a higher score?Because:The two lead Americans are s-l-o-w, painfully so, and their fights scenes are horrible - it was as if their opponents had to stop and wait for the ensuing move to come.The fight choreography gave absolutely nothing new. Maybe this wouldn't have been a problem with more story and less action, but with fights constantly throughout the 90 minutes, watching this became repetitive.The villains' plan was absurd. "I'm a killer but I hate all other killers"? Seriously?Bad English. At first, I was thinking that the film was dubbed, and the voice over given by the female lead come the ending is hard to take.But it's not all bad - I've certainly seen worse - and it's true to what it claims to be: 90 minutes or so of full-on action.Oh, and the final fight is actually pretty cool... but with so many other decent M.A./action films out there, I'd have a hard job recommending this.
