ANGEL TOWN is the debut movie for kickboxing star Olivier Gruner and near enough a wall-to-wall action fest delivered on a budget. Our hero plays a student who moves into the wrong part of time and is soon heavily involved with a war against a local Latino gang. After taking time to set the scene properly enough, the film offers one frenetic fight scene after another, with Gruner and his buddies fighting back against the usual moronic thugs. The fight scenes are pretty basic, it has to be said, with merely average choreography, but at least they're plentiful and don't hold back on the violence. Gruner is no actor but certainly seems athletic enough in the part, and fans of the era's action will enjoy it.
