Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Michael Ledo Ulrika (Brigitte Nielsen) wants to be president of anarchy torn Tajikistan. In order to do this she kidnaps the President's daughter (Tiffany Panhilason) and demands the president eliminate her competition and make her president. After a series of bad plot point explanations, the only people who can rescue the daughter are women, and the only women they can come up with are in prison. They managed to assemble a team of four mercs, creating a female Expendables grindhouse, that is still Asylum grade. The women are quickly introduced by their unlikely rap sheets. They are Cassandra Clay (stunt double Zoë Bell - Raze); Kat Morgan (Kristanna Loken - Blood Rayne); Raven (Vivica A. Fox- Kill Bill); and Mei-Lin Fong (Nicole Bilderback- Bring it On...Hey! Those Cheerleaders were tough!).Along the way they are aided by a Yuffie Kisaragi type character (Obscure FF VII reference). Things don't go according to plan. Blah, blah, blah...look for a sequel, because if Asylum made "Sharknado 2," quality films is not an issue.It is Asylum and this is a "B' list of Hollywood bad a** females. The dialogue is hokey by design as when Clay tells Lexi, they are "doing bad things to bad people." I missed an references to past films made by the actresses which would have been a plus to the dialogue. For some reason the action didn't grab me as much as it should have. The lack of character development subtracted from lines and scenes. Should have been better. They dropped the ball on this one. On the plus side, they didn't work for Eric Roberts.Might work as a cheap rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
ejunker It's Plan Nine from Herzegovina.Maybe Balkan Gargoyles?No, no... It's Mant!Imagine the very worst movie you've ever seen - maybe Victor Mature's One Million BC. Then imagine ol' Vic in drag.Sure, there've been worse. Probably Bollywood or Bulgarian. I've missed those, though.Merc's could have been enhanced without stress on the plot if the entire cast were nude. Imagine a president's daughter kidnapped by militant naturists and having R Crumb's lesbian pirates tasked to the recovery.Don't miss it!
mostafa knight I can Condone the classic series of events and the very expected story-line but what i cant stand is the shooting and the graphics the blood are so fake and the explosions are almost all graphic (looks like the producer didn't want to spend for a couple of cars to explode).I don't know why when we have the best group of actresses and a good scenario why the hell they ruin the movie up. too disappointing from actresses played in great movies as Brigitte Nielsen at cobra 1986 and Jasmine Dubrow in independence day 1996.also the script are very bad. the president daughter what the hell she was doing alone in such country.
texawegian LOL ... i nominate this movie for the best worst movie of 2014. the acting is awful. the dialog is abysmal. the script is worse than you can possibly imagine. well, duh, it's asylum, right?but i liked it lol. lots of good laughs, some hot chic-fu, and the chance to see Birgitte Nielsen in another epicfail performance. (you would think that after all these years that she would have learned some basic acting skills .. but nope.)anyways, very fun movie if you're drunk and/or not expecting any type of quality at all. i found it quite entertaining. if you like a good brainless movie once in awhile, this one will not disappoint.
