The Raid: Redemption

The Raid: Redemption

Superb martial arts action, kickass music, and the right blend of violence and gore to solidify itself as a classic, The Raid: Redemption is one of the best action movies I have ever seen. While the movie is subtitled (stay with me here) and the film grade is a gritty patchwork of nostalgic, grindhouse flair, it is very artistic in the way that the...

The King of Fighters (2010)

The King of Fighters is another one of these video game movies where the writers lazily use the “other world” excuse to bring us the environments and worlds that we recall from the video game.
