Of that rare number of movies you watch and don’t believe what’s going on for a second. Perfect glossy bodies without hair, moles, scars, duels without a single bruise, sword battles without a single scratch. Not a single ugly actor in the frame at all, everyone looks like thoroughbred English horses, sparkles with dirole smiles. A whole set of flawlessly successful sugar novels. Working on a computer without using a mouse in a non-existent operating system with beautiful pictures, while tasks for a whole body of programmers are solved by one person per minute. 50-year-old Eric Roberts, who walks with a cane in life, suddenly becomes the final boss with the skills of Van Damme. .
And all this invested tons of work decorators, make-up artists and operators. This is their film, not the director or the actors. And the biggest disappointment is that in a film about fights, the fights themselves are extremely curtailed, twice as good as nothing. Mortal Combat combat choreography might have saved the movie, but she didn't sleep here. A team of fighters, most of whom do not know martial arts. Scenes of fights were shot in pieces one or two strokes, flights on ropes ... Also, there is not a single psychological scene, not a single moment that could offer the viewer a drop of immersion - only a mashed illusion and sexual tummy. By the way, the eroticism in the film is also on a purely childish level: a slick display of bikini fashion, but not a single illegal inch of the body. I understand that the authors wanted to create a glossy holiday, not something believable, but this is a path to nowhere.
The only thing I liked about the film was the cameraman. The camera here did everything it could.
To sum it up, the film has a PG-13 rating, which is a children's movie. With a small budget of $ 30 million, it still managed to fail, collecting only $ 7.5. That's where he goes.
