Black Creek

I had the unique pleasure of attending the premiere of Black Creek in Los Angeles last October, and I've been thinking about it ever since. A movie created by the legendary Cynthia Rothrock, Black Creek is a bold, genre-blending film that feels like a landmark moment in martial arts cinema. To put it simply: this isn't just a martial arts movie - it's a martial arts western, and possibly the first of its kind.

What makes Black Creek stand out is how it refuses to be defined by just one genre. Yes, there are the thrilling fight scenes you'd expect from Rothrock, delivered with her signature precision and power. But beyond the combat, there's a real story here - one grounded in emotion, family, justice, and redemption. The dusty, lawless frontier setting adds texture and mood that elevates the entire film.

Rothrock proves once again that she's not only an action icon, but a true storyteller. Her character is compelling, complex, and rooted in a sense of purpose. The film doesn't rely solely on fists and kicks to move the plot forward - it uses drama, tension, and character development. That's a rare achievement in action cinema.

Black Creek breaks new ground, and it does so with style and sincerity. It's a film that pays homage to both the western and martial arts traditions while creating something entirely fresh. For longtime fans of Cynthia Rothrock, this movie is a gift. For newcomers, it's a perfect introduction to what she can do when given creative control.

In a world where Hollywood keep releasing the same old action films, Black Creek rides in like a breath of fresh air - bold, unique, and unforgettable.

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 really enjoyed this movie great Story, cast and awesome Fight scenes, Cynthia Rothrock was back in action like she never left the Fight Choreography was definitely on point for this movie. Definitely would recommend others to watch this Amazing movie, and Richard Norton was cold blooded he definitely played the Villian Role well. This movie had a lot of Grit and Dark undertone but the story had much meaning too it, also the cast was great you can tell they were a real Family on screen and that they got along well during the movie how the acting technique really messed together. On screen. I saw the movie on Amazon Prime, it definitely a must see for sure no doubt.

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.

Cynthia Rothrock owns the screen in the action packed western, "Black Creek." The gritty drama is intense with a bit of fun as well. Cynthia plays Rose, a gunslinger investigating the death of her brother and must fight corrupt law enforcement to uncover the truth. This film is filled with intense training scenes, fast paced attacks, and a cast of highky skilled, and talented martial artists, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Keith Cooke, Benny "The Jet" Uquidez, and many more. The late Richard Norton gives a stellar performance as Rose's nemesis and their fight scene is something you do not want to miss. Choreographed by the amazing Mike Moller the battles in Black Creek will have all action fans on the edge of their seats. The drama is heart pounding and the performance by Eliza Kelly as Rose's sister is nothing less than award worthy. To top it all off, the talent of Cynthia Rothrock shines through in both her martial arts skills and her savvy performance as a gunslinger with a sharp wit and good heart. This film will be remembered, and we all look forward to Black Creek 2.
