Hellbinders

I like action movies. I like comic book movies, and so I like this movie. It's obviously a low budget movie, but a low budget movie with a good story, great action, and actors who can really act, something that is rare in most low budget films.

Three heroes from different walks of life team up to battle a group of biblical demons that are pretty much unstoppable. What they do and how they do it ends up being a pretty entertaining ride.

The filmmakers do some interesting things with the transitions between scenes, moving from frame to frame with text, like you would read in a comic book.

Even if you're not into the comic book style of the film I guarantee you won't be bored.

It's worth the rental.

Okay I'm a self admitted Star Wars geek but I love love love Darth Maul! The best Sith ever. I even suffered through the last season of Heroes because of him. But I did not suffer through this movie because Darth Maul kicked ass and did not let me down. I'm not sure if I liked the comic book look or not but it was different. I haven't even seen it done that way in big budget movies. The action was great. Sword fighting, gun fighting, and the big guy who could just slug the life out of people was pretty cool. Also this movie really had some good acting in it too. Ray Park never gets to say anything but in this film he really showed he can act. He was funny, cool and even touching when he loses a friend.

It just came out on DVD in Germany and I rented this, not knowing what I should expect. As stated many times before, I don't actually read, what the movies I watch are about. I like to be surprised like that. Sometimes that can go awfully wrong, but this little movie (budget just over a million, which is really peanuts in the action genre these days) was a hit!

Directed by three men, who are actually more into stunts, than directing, this really is a fun little movie. And while other movies try hard to be funny, this actually has the actors that can pull that off. Not that every joke hits its target, but even those who miss are pretty nice. With Derek Mears in a small role (the new Jason in Friday 13th) and quite a few great action scenes, it's all surrounded by a good enough story to back that all up.

Not pitch-perfect, but if you have a heart for low budget movies, that are worth your while (and money), then you should definitely give this a chance! :o)

This little movie was on sale for 5 bucks at my local VIDEOTRON, and i got it because of 2 reasons... First i like the martial art gender, and second i like Ray Park and kowns he can fight and surprisingly is a decent actor considering what he do.

This movie turned out pretty well even tough the first action sequence let me wondering as the fake blood and cheap CGI announced a bad movie. Let just say they balanced kinda well the action and story, and the low budget CGI was not all over the place and didn't bother me much, as it was obvious they where looking for a comic book look.

The 3 main characters where interesting, but i am still wondering why they gave Ray Park the gun fights while he is a MAJOR martial artist and would had put up AWESOME unarmed fights.

The swordman i didn't knew him at all, and he was very decent. The templar was one of the guy i saw a few time in small roles in martial arts movies, one of his most notorious being Vladimir Sykov in UNDISPUTED 3 with Scott Adkins. He is bulked, work the part well, a little bit bad as an actor... well maybe more than a little bit, but considering the part he had to play i won't mind too much.

Than the rest... well... cheesy story, and its obvious this could had NEVER been release in theatre, but at the same time i had fun, so what more could i ask for a small little 5 dollars movie like that.

I can't help but compare this to Cross with Brian Austin Green i saw a couple days ago. Same type of movie, comic book style, cheesy on the story, but this one worked way better, as we have 3 lead to root for and a couple side characters, unlike Cross where they trow 10 or more(i lost count) of main characters at us and you barely know(or care) about them. Here i was actually caring and rooting for the characters and i think this is what helped the movie being a GOOD cheese fest.

This is a great indy action flick distributed by Maverick Entertainment. You can pick up a copy 5/4/10 at your local retailers-BestBuy, Blockbuster, Walmart, Netflix,and Redbox.

Max is a fast talking mercenary willing to risk everything for the almighty dollar, but he has met his match when he agrees to take on a job to terminate the devil himself. With the help of an elite assassin and the last remaining member of the Knights Templar, Max prepares for battle. But will the team even stand a chance against the mightiest demon they all have ever faced?
