    Action fans will rejoice.

    I saw this in 2009 n revisited it recently on a DVD which i own. Action fans should definitely check this out. The plot - A group of sadistic gamblers makes wagers on 30 of the world's most deadly assassins who band against one another in a battle royal. Debutante director Scott Mann did a terrific job considering the budget. The action is non stop. There are shoot-outs, gun play, bloodbaths in unlikely venues, severed limbs, exploding bodies caused by booby-trapped tracking devices, plenty of explosions, car chases, kicking, punching, heads exploding off like melons, severed limbs, wild stunts, a bus/truck chase, nudity and gore. Its really a *ucking shame that this film didn't got the recognition it deserves. The star cast is decent, the hot n attractive Kelly Hu (her sex scene from Farmhouse man), Ving Rhames, Robert Carlyle, Liam Cunningham, Scott Adkins n Sebastian Foucon (the guy from Casino royal). There's an excellent free running sequence courtesy of park-our expert Sebastian Foucon.

    "The Tournament" - a decently cool idea staggers, crawls, then dies.

    The Tournament - a deadly game played out every 7 years, where the world's richest people put 30 of the world's deadliest assassins in an out of the way town, and bet on who will be the last man (or woman) standing. The surprise (aha( is that through a plot twist, a drunken priest played by Robert Carlyle becomes an unwilling participant. Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu and that dueshbag from LOST round out the character actors.

    A movie like this, for me, needs two things - badass characters - and I mean MAKE THEM BADASS! Have a guy who uses snakes as weapons, and has an eyepatch, and uses a boomerang! Have a girl who has poisons and throwing stars, and who killed her whole family when she was 3 years old - I want some bloody history goddammit. Have assassins who get their arms pulled off and still keep killing. What we get here is a stupid video game sequence for each of the top 5 assassins, THE TEXAN, THE FRENCHMAN, THE Asian CHICK, etc, kicking and punching a bit before freezing for the camera. This is not the way to go. Show them in their environment. SHOW us, don't just tell us how badass they are.

    The movie has a stupid subplot where Ving Rhames's wife has been killed, and hes there for revenge, blah blah blah, these movies tend to get all cocked up when they try to make an emotional plot work, and this one is no exception. I feel like having this tournament, plus a bystander who's a priest who then becomes one of the players is more than enough plot for an action movie, the rest can be just watching the carnage unfold, and if the characters are interesting, and the action scenes are creative, that's all it really needs. This movie tries to straddle both, and ends up having mediocre characters having mediocre fight scenes (the two fight scenes with the FRENCHMAN were the exceptions, mostly because I'm a sucker for that parkour jumping around stuff).

    One last thing - movies like this need to understand the idea of contrasting elements. Contrast these deadly killers against a very normal town! Show them getting coffee at starbucks, fighting in a wal-mart, contrast crazy with normal. Instead the towns people seem to barely exist, the cops are nowhere, you never get that moment where a kid looks at a bleeding murderer from behind a box of paper towels, and the killer goes "hey there buddy" before blowing away a crazy monkey fighter who leaps over the tootsie roll display. This place is the town equivalent of an empty warehouse.

    People are comparing it to death race, but I actually liked that better, because it embraced it's stupidity, and didn't try to have that emotional subplot. The Tournament is really a movie best enjoyed after at least four beers, and even then you might find yourself nodding off near the end.

    Believe me, Middlesborough never looked better....

    There are only three other reviews here so far: two give this 10 (Err... two different named reviewers, identical reviews, duplicate memo to PR team please....idiots) and the other 1 so let's assume some will love this and others will hate it. I'll try to review it....

    Plot: pretty easy sell, every seven years the top assassins hold the tournament; they kill each other until the last survivor wins it all; all organized, tracked, and betted on by billionaires, of course.

    The whole thing is kind of like no limit hold'em.... but they can't all dodge bullets, baby. Think Tekken and you're not in the right area, it is better than Uwe Boll and that ilk.

    Not quite lineage as Guy Ritchie (Obviously) but only needing Jason Stratham this is exactly what is says on the box: an out and out kill or be killed cartoonish film.

    Filming is good, nothing too dark or menacing but just nice.

    It's not Battle Royale but if action is your thing and you liked Death Race 2000, Shoot Em'Up or Wanted then you'll be happy enough.

    Any gripes about morality are irrelevant here, this is in a moral vacuum, and so are plot holes, logic, or how heads explode like watermelons, this is either your type of film or you should really it avoid totally.

    Yep, it's violent - limbs fly, people die in well, imaginative ways - but it is not horror.

    It's all well put together, nicely cast, and creates enough interest; better than just hunt or be hunted there is a real plot and even character development...

    Oh and great to choose Middlesborough, seriously one of the ugliest, most desolate pile of concrete crap evaar...ha ha....shooting it up the kyber pass can only improve it....

    This is a movie to watch with mates and wince and cheer to....

    It will pass the time nicely

    There has been so much trash released over the past couple of years, however The Tournament is one of those fun trashy movies that hits the action spot very nicely, what we have is a game that takes place every 7 years and 30 top assassins play out for the top prize, and yes they have to kill each other to win 10 million, a bug has been placed inside them so they can track each other down and a bunch of rich folk place there bets in who will win.. Well thats pretty much the plot.. So what now follows is a Battle Royal kill fest, and boy do we have some brutal and bloody kills, the film makers were smart to even through in some nudity...and hey presto we have another trashy exploitation movie, but this one kinda rocks, it will remind you of other movies you have seen...like Battle Royal, The Running Man, and even Gamer, so don't expect anything original but there are some nice set pieces, blood gets splattered all over the place and oh... did i even mention that there is some nudity?

    Action thriller in which some killers participate in a brutal chase with heavy stakes for a bloodthirsty public

    A series of TV news reports are shown about acts of violence across the globe ; gunfights , crossfire , assaults , explosions , terrorist attacks, and other acts of murder, both small and larger scale . In some of these reports, the newscasters say that authorities are dismissing some of the random explosions as accidental. Television is really controlled and a sadistic game show is followed by wealthy people betting amount of dollars and it has become the most popular program . The TV game run by a director (Liam Cunningham) in which various murderers are selected for a ruthless manhunt , as each game is selected some extremely hired killers in the Mysterious event called "The tournament". . It is a game of world's best Assassins killing each other while featured live to its buyers as the world's best Show on earth. Here take part the following ones : Oshua Harlow (Ving Rhames) is a main champion , considered to be Number One , Lai Lai Zhen (Kelly Hu) a sexy high kicking, sharp shooting Chinese woman hoping to win enough money to quit 'the life' and disappear forever , Miles Slade (Ian Somerhalder) an crazy Texan who has entered purely as an excuse to create slaughter , chaos and massacre, a free running killer and Parkour expert , Anton Bogart (Sebastien Foucan) , the nasty villainous Steve Tomko (Craig Conway) who has entered as a test of his own hunter/killer skills , among others . Thousands of people watching the tournament , betting on which one of the 30 assassins will survive the next 24 hours "kill or die" and claim . The last man standing receiving the elevated cash prize and the title of Worlds No 1, which itself carries the legendary million dollar a bullet price tag . Every Seven Years The World's Greatest Assassins Gather ... Only One Will Survive . Death by elimination . Coming soon to a town near you!

    This nail-biting film contains action , thrills, suspense , blood , a little bit of black humor and is plenty of graphical violence . Special effects laden flick with ultra-violent events , but being really a loose rendition written by Gary Young & Jonathan Frank & Nick Rown freely based on the Stephen King novel that was adapted on cinema by Paul Michael Glaser as ¨Running Man¨ with Arnold Schwarzenegger , Jim Brown and Yaphet Kotto , the film is based very loosely on the novel of the same name . The story deals with a futuristic TV game show in which men hunt them down and kill them in gruesome manners . The movie displays strong and realistic fights and excellent action sequences with bloody attacks and violent , blistering struggles . The highlights of the film are the enjoyable relationship that's established between the peculiar characters of the priest/Robert Carlyle and the murderess/Kelli Hu, as well as the impressive and unstoppable pursuits-crashes between a double-decker bus and a giant truck. The picture belong to ¨dystopian world¨ genre in which tyrannical states are controlled by cruel death games , such as ¨Running Man¨ (Paul Michael Glaser) , ¨Battle Royale¨ (Kinji Fukasaku) and the recent ¨Hunger Games¨(Gary Ross) . The film is carried out by a varied cast , although it stands out Ving Rhames as a hunk and powerful warrior , he steals the spectacle as one army man , as enemies are dispatched in turn . Along with other important actors , such as : Robert Carlyle, Kelly Hu, Ian Somerhalder, Liam Cunningham, John Lynch , Andy Nyman , Iddo Goldberg , Nick Rowntree , Rachel Grant and special appearance by Scott Adkins proving his fighting skills . Being a United Kingdom/United States/Bahrain co-production here the British cast prevails.

    It contains a thrilling and appropriate musical score by Laura Karpman, mostly composed by means of synthesizer . Evocative and adequate , though dark at times, cinematography by Emil Topuzov . This lavishly produced motion picture was well directed by Scott Mann . He's an action expert directing some succesful films with plenty of spectacular set pieces , violence , thrills and twisted intrigues , such as : ¨Fall¨, ¨Heist¨, ¨Down Amongst the Dead¨ , ¨Final Score¨ and this ¨The Tournament¨ . Rating : 6/10.

    • Anecdotes
      In a botched attempt to turn over a semi-trailer truck with an air cannon for a chase scene, a piece of iron debris flew toward the production crew and hit assistant director Shero Rauf. Rauf broke both his legs, and it took him almost two years to walk normally again. The accident was caught on film by the crew and was published on the web after the release of the movie. He received compensation of a mere 400 euros for the injury.
    • Gaffes
      In the High street scene a shop with the phone number 0161 displayed which is a Manchester phone number. Middlesbrough is 01642 where the film is set. The card that Lai Lai Zhen refers to when she gets off the phone also has a postcode M14... which is also Manchester. Middlesborough would be a TS postcode.
