kreed10 There's a lot of interesting stuff going on here. Bad acting? OK yes but thats forgivable, you can see they are really trying. What isn't forgivable are the missteps that keep the movie from being really good, Who's decision was it to have the assassin spend 5 minutes beating up a drugged out woman and then drag her, wrapped up in a shower curtain to the main gun fight only to never see her again? This is our introduction to the ultimate killing machine? The theme of the movie is an interesting one and the resolution is even well done to a point until it gets all 'Angel Heart' on us... These guys are good at staging a fight but it needed better editing, and a better writer or script doctor.

Movize I was in Belgium this week and get a chance to see this movie (The Prodigy). I was visiting a friends home and watched the movie on DVD.  All I can say is this, Wow!  I was dumb struck from the beginning.  In the first 15 minutes there was more action than most movies have in their entirety.  The gun battles and fist fights were like no other ever filmed before.  The directing and acting was total quality. I never heard of these actors but they all did an amazing job.  I was really taken with the star of the film Holt Boggs and I really liked the female lead Diana Lee Inosanto.  Can't wait to see what they do next, hopefully a prequel or sequel to this movie. Also, your really going to like what the director Will Kaufman and his DP did on this film. They gave this movie both, a beautiful look and it was creepy all in one. Do yourself a favor and check this one out. I can't wait for the US release.

Justin Frazier It's been about 10+ years since I could actually say I enjoyed an action movie that has been released. There has been nothing but cheap Vin Diesel flicks with bad plots and diction that makes a 3rd grader sound good and the acting, lets just consider who plays in most of the action movies of the past decade...lets leave it at that.Not only was The Prodigy a great film, but the storyline kept the group I was with guessing through-out the picture. The fight scenes were authentic in a way that only a true fighter would know how to produce. A film of this caliber has the audience wanting a sequel to see where this concept could go!Would love to be able to see this again on the big screen and look forward to having it on DVD!

Tom Calumn This intense debut feature from William Kaufman should have secured him a career for life as it is just plain awesome. An action packed yet wholey original film, it delivers in every respect with superb shoot-outs, amazing sequences, a riveting story, great performances and an ending which leaves you gagging for more. The story begins with a drug deal which goes drastically wrong as a mysterious killer appears on the scene and guns down everybody, and the rest of the film basically revolves around tracking him down, to oversimplify. The story is not that complex, but then, it doesn't need to be, and despite sounding like a tired premise, you can take my word for it that you have not seen anything like it before. I'm not going to say anymore except to advise you that if you want to be absolutely amazed and gripped for two hours, watch this film.
