Country: USA

If you enjoy a cheesy slice of American comedy that features fast cars and some top talent, then it’s guaranteed to please.

Criminally overlooked and underrated East meets West actioner that has some fine pedigree, gave Scott Glenn one of his best leading roles and even introduced one Steven Seagal to the world of movies.

‘The Corruptor’ makes for an enjoyable ride that is far superior to Chow’s previous introduction to an international audience.

‘The Crow’ is an excellently constructed and heartfelt action movie that contains a brilliant central performance.

A refreshing reminder of how action films used to be made where brains, brawn and banter all play a part in shaping a satisfying story.

If you want an added fix of Richard Norton go for something better like ALL of his HK films or even his US efforts with Cynthia Rothrock.

Very 1980s in its tone, a factor which adds to a lot of the fun, ‘The Forbidden Kingdom’, is flashy and harmless and shows the two Hong Kong stars still have charisma to burn.

‘The Great Wall’ packs in a monster amount of large scale action as Damon, Jing et al take on the horde of monsters in ever increasingly elaborate ways.

‘The Guyver’ is clearly some distance from the original source material, but it is still a movie that can be immensely enjoyable if approached in the right frame of mind.

What saves this generally poor B-movie from complete obscurity are the numerous well crafted stunt and fight sequences scattered throughout the film.

‘The Harvest’ is a slow-burning, independent take on inter-generational tension, focused on the patient reveal rather than the spectacular twist and in this way it feels much more relatable.

I definitely recommend this to those who enjoyed the earlier ‘No Retreat,No Surrender’ films and similar mindless, but well styled, action flicks.
