Dean (6926 KP) rated Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist in TV

Jun 6, 2018

What?

Another poor attempt on the Street Fighter 2 computer game to live action. I originally thought this was a film but actually it's a short series, 2 hours 30 minutes in total.
Supposedely showing how Ken and Ryu learnt the same fighting style. There is so much potential for street fighter 2 films and stories, but so far including this odd offering they have all been really poor!
The wait for a decent street fighter 2 film continues... Hadoken!!

"In the early 30s, Gabrielle Chanel introduced Jean Renoir to Luchino Visconti, who would become his assistant director for several films. In the early 60s, Visconti connected Chanel with Romy Schneider. This short film, part of an anthology feature on morality and love with segments directed by other Italian masters such as Fellini and De Sica, focuses on a society woman (Schneider dressed in CHANEL) and her unfaithful husband. The production could be seen as an homage to the designer’s world."

Good sets & SFX

Short snappy thriller

After seeing the trailer I was looking forward to this creature feature. Especially as it's produced by Sam Raimi. It really is a bitesize treat. Under 90 minutes long but it's very intense as a Father and Daughter are trapped in their home during a big hurricane, surrounded by hungry Aligators. The acting is good, the sets impressive and the 'gators look realistic. Much better than many other bigger budget films on a similar theme.

Action packed

Nice ties to a couple of the other films

If it bleeds...

A very good Predator prequel of sorts. Definitely better than a couple of the other entries. Back to basics and more in touch with the original in terms of the set up. Set in 1719 as a Comanche tribe hunt and are hunted.
It crams a lot in to a short 95 minute run time. With plenty of Predator action. Amber Midthunder stands out as one to watch from this.

Genuinely scary

Scary

A great little Spanish horror film that has a realism about it you just don't get in many horror films. This did so well the Western remake was done just a few months later and also got good reviews @Quarantine (2008) . It's very short at 70mins but brutal and shocking after a slow opening. Filmed from the point of view of a local TV camera man, it's a found footage film like Blairwitch and Cloverfield, making a documentary about the local fire service. They go out on a call to a local apartment block, beginning a series of shocking events.
There are 2 sequels that are worth checking out and a sequel to the American version as well.
