Cyborg X (2016)
came inspecting Nothing, left kinda impressed
i came in expecting an atrociously bad movie .. not sure why but i have been burned before.. but hey, its got Danny Trejo in it so i took a leap of faith.
Very limited CGI, which i could expect for movie with this budget, but the costume/prosthetics were not bad, sound was decent, and it was pretty well shot.
Limited story, Danny said his usual 20 words, and some wooden acting hurt it of course, but as far as by-the-books Cyborg Action movies go i found it entertaining. Don't know if i would watch it twice, but i would like to see the director get a bigger budget. Lead male actor was pretty decent too .. Lead female actor was OK but nothing to write home about.
Good use of scenery too for the limited locations they used.
All in all worth a watch, at least once.
Die Fighting (2014)
Not an epic, but good fighting
I wouldn't get near giving this a 10 .. but i also wouldn't call it the worst Martial Arts movie that i have ever seen (and I've seen a bunch). Since the main listed actor did the directing etc too, I'm guessing this was a project of passion, but the dude sure has a mean kick.
Low budget obviously, and a pretty weak plot and average acting, but still worth a watch for the fight Choreography. I didn't think that i would make it thru the whole movie but i did .
Filmed with multiple cameras, most simulating some kind of CCTV cameras which is an interesting choice.. seems to work with the plot.
So yeah .. worth at least one watch, but don't look for many Oscars in its future.
EDIT: When i wrote this i wasn't quite finished with the movie.. now that i am .. the ending actually caught me off guard.. it was very well done.
