A GOOD FUN MONSTER MOVIE WITH A GREAT LEAD IN ADKINS
27 December 2020
I totally enjoyed this fun throwback Monster Movie & it was nice to see the underrated Action Legend SCOTT ADKINS doing something different & here he played a different type of hero role & i loved it!!!!

ADKINS is good here doing something other than the usual kick-ass Martial arts stuff & he's very good which shows that the guy is genuinely a good talented movie star lead & not just a cheap low-budget Action hero which while nothing wrong with that as he's the underrated champ of the Action genre but it's nice to see him having fun in this nice guy, old fashioned Explorer type lead role as Dr. Travis Preston who is a Cryptozoologist & is goes to China to help investigate sightings of a huge lizard type creature that has Been attacking people, itself basic old school B-movie stuff but i love this stuff & got vibes of 90's Monster flicks like Lake Placid & Anaconda & even the newish Kong: Skull Island as this fits nicely into that Genre of Monster Movie's. We also have another Action great here with Dolphin Lundgren as a villain type an evil Hunter named Harker who has a history of beef with Travis & Dolph plays his role fine & is often funny but always sly & evil & it's right that whenever humans find a new species they always wanna hunt & kill it & it's wrong as creature's should be allowed to exist in their own territories & that's what ADKINS's Travis is trying to do is save this incredible creature & he has a nice little team that are all likeable too. A good little cast & well filmed with really good c.g.i for a lower budgeted movie like this, a real harmless old adventure type of flick with a sense of fun throughout. I like this type of movie & i think Scott Adkins is the most underrated Lead star or Action Hero working today!!!! A Gem of a movie. Here in England the dvd cover art is terrible as it shows the Creature to be a huge Dragon but it's not at all it's a big Lizard thing & is really well animated with c.g.i considering it's small budget. Fun flick
