Black Creek

Black Creek" is an adrenaline-charged throwback to the golden age of action films-only better, sharper, and more relentless. Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton reunite in peak form, and their on-screen chemistry is as fierce as their fists.

From the very first scene, the action choreography sets a blistering pace. Rothrock delivers high-speed kicks with the precision of a sniper, and Norton's raw power brings real gravity to every punch. Their fight sequences are more than just combat-they're cinematic poetry in motion.

What elevates Black Creek beyond standard action fare is the spectacular special effects. Explosive set pieces are executed with style and authenticity. The blend of practical effects and flawless CGI brings gritty realism to every shootout and brawl without ever overwhelming the performances.

The story is grounded but gripping-a rogue militia, a secret past, and justice that must be taken with bare hands. Rothrock brings emotion and intensity to her role, proving once again she's not just an icon but a force. Norton balances charisma and stoicism like a veteran warrior who's been waiting for the right war.

If you love martial arts, classic action stars, or just a film that delivers punch after punch with heart, Black Creek is a must-watch. It's the kind of film that makes you want to stand up and cheer after every fight scene.

10 out of 10 stars. Cynthia Rothrock is still the queen of combat, and Richard Norton proves legends only get better with time.

On the 17 June BLACK CREEK was released on major platforms and I watched it twice, and that is after I was blesses to be on a premiere in California. This is such an amazing old west story, but its also a martial arts western. Not just that I find it to be a dark graphic novel on screen. Yes there is also a real Black Creek novel and the film is even cooler! The martial arts film legends Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton (Rest in peace🙏🏻), Keith Cooke, Don Wilson, Keith Vitali, Benny Urquides and more made am amazing ansamble and so many cinematic views. The mood set on screen puts chills down my spine. Crazy stunts, fight choreography directed by Mike Moller, what a pleasure for my eyes! I really hope to see more soon, no spoilers, see the end credits.

I'll be honest-I went into Black Creek thinking this was going to be a respectful nod to all of us who've stuck with Cynthia Rothrock through the years. A little nostalgia, a couple of signature kicks, and a reminder of why she's a legend.

But she went above and beyond.

Yes, the nostalgia is there-those fight beats, that no-nonsense stare, the quiet intensity before the storm-it all hits in the best way.

But what I didn't expect was just how much grit, power, and heart Rothrock still brings to the screen. This isn't just a tribute to her past roles-this is a legit action film with real stakes, solid performances, and a leading lady who hasn't missed a step.

The fight scenes are raw, grounded, and tight-no flash just for the sake of flash. Every move feels earned. She's not just here to show up-she's here to remind everyone that she still sets the standard.

And let's not ignore the emotional depth she brings to this one. There's a weight to her character that makes you lean in between the punches. She wears experience like armor-both on-screen and off-and it shows.

So, to Cynthia: thank you for not phoning it in. Thank you for showing up and still giving it your all. And thank you for continuing to be the Lady Dragon we all fell in love with.

Final verdict: 9/10 stars - a powerful return that doesn't rely on the past but earns every minute of the present.

BLACK CREEK - has your back seat to a sensational return to the screen and this time Grandmaster Cynthia Rothrock wearing triple hats in the cr8tive film making realm. In her 4 decades in film , she has incredibly grown not only as an actress but a very viable filmmaker. Here she's plays outlaw Rose Jennings , who learns her dear brother has been murdered and seeks the inexcusable reason why . (tho some may say revenge plot cliche ) the DELIVERY of this utilized formula , is HEARTFELT ORIGINAL w the performances of the entire cast , w Keith Cooke (Scorpion from Mortal Kombat & China O Brien) deliberating more depth than usual with this role , as a ranch hand from her past . Long time Martial Arts sensation Richard Norton (Norris The Octagon /Fury Road/and king time costar of Mrs Rothrock . And sadly recently passed away as this is now his final film performance ) as the villain, Sinclair in a revenge western , that also has a lot of heart with its story on redemption , reception & ultimately restitution complete with a well rounded cast from a lot of action film history , w excellent performances by Undefeated WORLD CHAMPION Benny The Jet Urquidez and his fight reunion with another #1 Champion in tournament circuit Sensei Keith Vitali and Kickboxing champion Don The Dragon Wilson as a surprisngly belivable shaman healer , the film has MUCH MORE going for it , than just an action martial arts film ... if you like The Magnificent Seven or Outlaw Johnny Black , you'll absolutely love saddling up for BLACK CREEK !!!

I just wanted to say wow - Black Creek was absolutely fantastic! I was blown away by the energy, the action, and the heart behind it all. Cynthia was phenomenal, as always - powerful, graceful, and completely captivating on screen. And seeing you alongside Richard Norton again was such a treat! The chemistry you they share never fades, and it brought back so many great memories of China O'Brien.

It was amazing seeing the cast reunited - what a gift for longtime fans. You've managed to capture the spirit of the past while bringing something fresh and thrilling.

Also, mixing a Western with martial arts was such a brilliant idea! It worked so well - the wide-open landscapes paired with intense fight choreography created such a unique and gripping atmosphere. You've really shown how two iconic genres can come together in a way that feels both nostalgic and totally original.

Thank you for giving us this incredible film. You and the team should be so proud!

All the best.
