Featured reviews
This movie is much more than I expected. It kept me interested the whole time, even when the plot was very obvious. The action scenes and all the references to other martial arts movies and even references to animated series like "Grand Prix" and others, kept the movie rolling very well till the end. Congrats to the producing team and everyone in this film, it's just too good to be the first martial arts in the Chilean industry.
P.S. I loved Caterina Jadresic in this film... just lovely. The contact lenses were not necessary, she is beautiful just the way she is, but anyway she looks amazing.

Hearing about a Chilean film was not surprising, indeed its very common but when you hear about a Chilean ACTION film that's a total different story.
I must admit that I am not quite a fan of Chilean movies but after watching this I can honestly say that my opinion is changing, nice and clean edition and very quick and realistic fighting sequences makes this film a very interesting and surprising film.
The Good Points:
* Simple story and not a silly saving-the-world-from-an-ancient-satanic-sect plot, this makes the movie easier to understand and fun to watch. * Very nice fighting sequences, I heard a rumor that the main actor of this movie is indeed a martial artist of recognition in our country and you can clearly see it as you watch the movie, the fights are fast and realistic making you say OUCH! in every kick. * Its a very funny movie, I laughed a lot of times with the jokes in the movie. A lot of scenes brings us the sweet memories of the 80's series like Kung Fu and one character reminds me of Star Wars as I must say that he is the Chilean Master Yoda.
The Bad Points:
* The Visual Effects are not quite good, the blood was digitalized and you can easily notice it in a lot of scenes. * The main actor is really good at kicking, but when it comes to acting the result is not up to the expectations(mine at least). * The Music is half good, half horrible. A lot of good bands in the soundtracks, but also a lot of bands that really stink.
I really recommend this movie, my expectations where absolutely none, I just went because I was curious about the FIRST Chilean action film and I was really surprised. Very Nice Work, lets wait for the sequel!

Or is it damsel in distress? But is it about her? Well sort of - love story and all. But a love story with a lot of action and beating people up (also killing some along the way). Your usual "entertainment" then. Well I may be giving this a bit of a leaway (no pun intended) with my rating.
This does not have the best action scenes you have seen. But it is a decent B-Action movie. It has the cliches you expect it to have - and it may end exactly how you expect it to end (or not to be honest - I thought after all that .. but do I actually care?) ... CGI blood and all included too.

This early film of Chilean martial artist and action film star, Marko Zaror, is not bad. There are some good elements, including a decent story and attempt to infuse martial arts and fantasy. The film, like Zaror's current release, Fist of the Condor, showcase Chile, as well as Zaror's skills and passion for the arts. The story also has a similar through-line of the struggle between good and evil. The fight scenes are decent but they are hampered by digital blood effects that are not very good. The film's direction is not great. The low budget is apparent. The editing could have been tighter. Shaving 20% off the film would have improved the experience. I enjoyed seeing Zaror's progression.
I just saw the movie and thought it was good in general. I have to point out that this type of movie is completely new for us over here, I mean it's the first martial arts movie made in Chile, so my hat is off to the people who decided to make this movie. The highlights of the movie are the fights which are pretty cool and showcase the abilities of M. Zaror (The Rock stunt double) very well. He no doubt can kick some ass. The movie is full of hints to other martial arts movies and series, like "Kung Fu", "Drunken Master" or the "Kill Bill" type music, for instance. The movie has also a lot of humor just like the Asian martial arts movies.
If the fights were a little longer, and the plot a little more polished, then this would have been a very promising movie. Even with those rough points, the movie is good for being the first of its kind in Chile. Marko Zaror is probably the best martial artist I have seen in a movie that isn't of Asiatic descent. I rated it with a 9 for being the first movie of it's kind, I found it was pretty good. It reminded me a lot of the Korean martial arts movies (fast paced fights like the ones in "Ong-Bak"). A must see for martial arts fans.
