Catch me if you can. The subject of survival has always interested me, and when I saw this film, I decided to watch it without hesitation. First of all, of course, because of Billy Drago, as well as Mike Norris (son of legendary actor Chuck Norris). To say that movie" The Ring of Death is a good action movie for 1992, I can't. By this time, such worthy films as “Running Man”, “The Price of Risk”, “Turkey Hunt” were shot, which in many respects surpass this picture. Compared to modern films, the film is In the ring of death, it looks frankly weak. In a movie like this, that’s not the most important thing. Here the main thing is intrigue, acting and spectacle. What's in this movie?
In the center of the plot is Matt Collins, the winner of the survival competition, a former military of Vietnam, a specialist in hand-to-hand combat and the war on terrorism. It is he, as a worthy rival, who is kidnapped by the people of millionaire Danton Yours so that Collins participates in the survival game. He will be hunted by five hunters. The winner's reward will be the ancient ring of death. Each hunter draws lots and, accordingly, receives a weapon. This is where all predictability begins. The Chinese Chen - the stars of the ninja, the Indian Eisman - the spear, the American Danton - the noose, Tempel - the bent dagger, the fifth hunter Your killed. With such a not cunning weapon, after four hours, the hunters dispersed in different directions and began their hunt for Collins.
Of course, the director tried to make a decent movie, but everything turned out like in a bad theater, life here does not smell. The film was weak and unfinished. The acting looks not convincing at all, the look is empty, there are no emotions on the face (except for Billy Drago, the villain is his role). As for hand-to-hand fights, this is just a beginner’s manual. The beats and sounds are reminiscent of 80s Indian films.
In general, such a film now does not impress anyone, and the picture does not carry any other value. Therefore, it is better not to waste your time and see something more worthy.
