I ordered this movie in HK because I thought it would be a nicely made action flick. The opening scene was quite promising, but then the gruesome story unfold... Soon reminded of Battle Royale (although I only know the plot of the movie), I was already not amused. But when a rape scene was casually staged as some kind of an 'initiation ritual' for the newly chosen winners of a fight-to-the-death, I was disgusted as I have never been before by any movie (and I even like splatter movies!). So although some action is not too bad - even the end fight has it's qualities - I totally regret having bought this movie. I recommend to anyone with some sense for ethics and decency to avoid this movie like the plague.

Watching this film you'll probably feel the urge to skip the "story" parts by using your fast forward button. Very similar to pr0n movies, the story between the "real" scenes is more than boring and with actors even worse than in pr0n (which has its own unintentional humor sometimes). Some actors don't fit their role because of their age - but with so many flaws in the movie this is one of the minor problems. What you can imagine is that Olaf Ittenbach is really ambitious and gave his "Herzblut" for this production. That's something that should be supported, because with a real budget I think he would make incredible movies. Nevertheless, some gore scenes in the movie are quite good and what the film doesn't lack of is blood, blood and then: more blood...
