Goofs

Punch sounds are heard when no punches were laid. This is in the American version of the movie. In the original all sounds are fine. The goof is created by bad dubbing/ sound editing making the movie understandable for that country.

User Reviews

I want more.

This movie had a room or 1250 people cheering every few minutes. Non stop excitement. I don't think I can ever remember a movie that had so much action from start to finish. The weapons, the fighting, the knives, and the made up weapons, aka light bulb, propane tank keep you riveted to the screen. I don't think another movie like this will appear for some time. So if you have a chance go see and you sill see what I mean. Thank god for tiff and bringing it to us so early, and hopefully we will have some say with regards to it getting picked up by one of the major studios. Best to be seen in a room full of people, hopefully non that are afraid of the sight of blood. lol
