Storyline

The hero of our story is "Axon Rey" a heavily decorated war hero and former tactical police officer who has been recruited by a covert government organization to fight enemies of the state. Schooled in the martial arts as well as in the latest high tech weapons, Rey, now code-named "Sphinx", finds himself an elite member of the sanction division of SATO (State Anti-Terrorist Organization), a clandestine organization of assassins under the direct control of SIN (State Intelligence Network). During his last assassination mission Sphinx has failed. Normally the state deals with such failures easily; it executes the executioner. Since Sphinx is the top assassin, his controller, Janus, decides not to eliminate him immediately. He sends him to a rehabilitation island called "Gulag 7".

User Reviews

Could have been better

This is a strange movie that crocop decided to make! If you are expecting a whole lot of MMA action, then you will be disappointed. Most of the fights scenes (and there were only 4 short ones) are rather van damme like, though there was one with benicic (fellow Croatian team fighter) which did have some decent moves.

The dialogue is very minimal throughout the movie, it seems like crocop only says about 5 lines. The storyline is a bit strange too, kinda like.....well....van damme's universal soldier.

The director seemed like he was making a music video clip, with the use of color and exposure in the movie. Still, it does look quite nice, and it is different.

All in all, i give the movie a 6. It wasn't really great in any particular way. I guess they didn't have a huge budget, but I'm sure they could have done better fight scenes. I'm a crocop fan myself, but i was still disappointed in the movie. worth renting to check watch once, but i wouldn't buy it.
