Exiled: The Chosen Ones

A very intriguing/engaging storyline. I didn't want the film to end. The fight scenes between sunny pang and nick khan were mind blowing. A huge well done to everyone involved in this film.

If The Running Man was a dystopian spectacle wrapped in neon and satire, this film strips it down to its raw, terrifying core. There's the same idea of being hunted, the same societal voyeurism-but here, the fear is real, the violence is brutal, and the performances are uncomfortably grounded.

What truly sets this film apart isn't just the premise-it's the cast.

James Bryhan, known for his chilling turn in Dig me no grave , delivers a performance that's quietly nightmarish. He brings a cold, cerebral energy to his role, evoking dread without theatrics. There's something almost spectral about him-like he's always watching, always one step ahead. He doesn't just play a threat-he becomes the embodiment of fear. It's the kind of performance that leaves a mark on the viewer long after the scene ends.

Sunny Pang, who brought intense physicality and stoic menace to Havoc, is just as magnetic here. He doesn't say much-but he doesn't have to. His screen presence commands attention. There's power in his stillness, precision in his movements, and danger in every glance. He plays a character who is calm until he explodes-and when he does, it's swift and devastating. Pang gives violence a voice without ever raising his own.

Nick Khan rounds out the cast with raw, visceral power. His fighting style is gritty and grounded, more survivalist than cinematic, and that's what makes it so effective. There's no flash-just force, control, and impact. You feel every punch, every fall, every desperate move. He's the physical heart of the film, channeling the spirit of a man with nothing to lose.

This film may echo the The Running Man in concept, but it surpasses it in tone. It trades showmanship for suspense, spectacle for atmosphere, and delivers something far more disturbing and immersive.

Killers, nutters, rapists and one mean ,glorious psychopath (Kato Plasma) gutting, chopping and the greatest of mayhem are all the ingredients to make this one psychotic, driven bloody mayhem of a movie!

Martial arts with a dash of horror set slightly in the future with action stars Sunny Pang ,Hannah Al Rashid, Oka Antario, Nick Khan and James Jaysen Bryhan.

This movie blew me away! The fight scenes were excellent, the acting ,especially by 4 of the leads was phenomenal. Now I know this film was made on a tight budget, but the actors, the fight sequences and the story carried it all the way through. Nick Khan was the vicious Russian killer who tore everyone and everything up,but came nowhere scary than James Jaysen Bryhan. His character was more than menacing and was such a standout that it was a shame to see his scenes so short. I would've liked to have seen Kato vs Igor. Now that's a game i'd place a bet on.

Needless to say, this film is as good as (dare I say) The Raid.

Do I need to say anything else? NO. GO AND WATCH IT.

Firstly, Im not a fan of martial arts films and even less , horror, but this film intrigued me. I had heard of some of the cast before.. Sunny Pang, James Bryhan and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I sat there with my husband ,gripping his arm ,waiting for the horror to start and by the end of the film, i was perched on my chair screaming and throwing myself into it.

I can say, Exiled has converted the unconvertable. This movie has all the elements of a great cast and story.

I'm looking forward to what happens next.

A gameshow with a difference.

Players have to kill one another to get there freedom, but theres one thing standing in their way.

A great film and worth a watch if you just want to sit back and lose your mind watching a ton of blood and guts.

I liked it and routed for a couple of the players.

And when you see them, you'll know whom I am talking about.

Actingwise, there was one scene in it involving a grenade that I thought didn't need to be there. The two actors need to go back to drama school. Everyone else held up and were convincing which is why I can forgive those 2 minutes of the grenade guy.

The fight scenes between Sunny Pang and Nick Khan were fantastic ,pacey and hard hitting.

I look forward to the next installment.
