Ok, Well This Was FANTASTIC! Solid Martial Arts Action Flick

Ok, this movie is fantastic. It's beyond solid in my opinion. It's pretty good action movie.

This might be the best action flick I have seen in 2018. It feels very small budgeted yet, this was very action packed, well choreographed and well shot. The music was actually pretty decent...

On the Ropes is a pretty good martial arts filmed wrapped up in a gang war scenario. Two brothers on the wrong path and one ends up double crossing the other in a quest to garner power. That's the plot essentially and all you need to know to enjoy the movie.

There is no CGI and that's a positive in an era overdone with CGI. It was very commendable and enjoyable. If you are a guy who loves action flicks, and wants to see something refreshing, give it a shot. It's not your cookie cutter action flick, but that's why it works. Yeah it's low budget, but so what?

Highly recommended for guys who are fans of action movies and martial arts. 9 out of 10. Some actors are better than others, but at no point is this movie boring.

Well done production and camera work, along with fast moving plot makes this a must see.
