Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

MBunge Ten Dead Men is like a B+ film school project. Most of the filmmaking is low-budget and elementary but competent. The storytelling is a little better than that, though it's marred by a few too many things that make no sense at all. The acting is perfectly acceptable, even with a lead actor that has all the on screen personality of a throbbing boil. The action scenes are thoroughly energetic, sort of like crossing The Transporter with the Mortal Kombat video game. Basically this British revenge flick is like a dollar store version of one of those countless American action films from the 1980s, with just a bit more imagination.Ryan (Brendan Carr) is a mob hit man who left his life of crime to be with his girlfriend (Pooja Shah). He's forced back into his old life, however, and crosses his old boss (Terry Stone). That results in his girlfriend being killed in front of him and Ryan being left for dead. He, in a completely inexplicable and irrational manner, recovers and starts hunting down the ten men responsible for destroying his new life. What follows are action scenes that are as over-the-top as you can get when your movie has a budget of about 13 pounds, more flashbacks than you can shake a stick at and acts of retribution that range from the mundane to the ridiculous.To say the narration is the best part of Ten Dead Men may sound like I'm damning it with faint praise, but Doug Bradley guiding us through Ryan's tale of vengeance like he was telling his children a bedtime story is very inviting. It draws you into a story that is otherwise unexceptional and helps get you past those points where the film tosses logic and plausibility into the rubbish bin.Now, there's no getting around how cheap-looking this thing is. The judicious use of computer effects does give a kick to some of the acts of violence, but Ten Dead Men looks more like it was filmed by a talented group of friends with a video camera and a tripod than it does a professional production. At times it looks fine, but other times it really seems like these filmmakers did not know what they were doing.If you're looking for a non-stupid, bloody and violent movie, and don't mind substandard production values and the occasional bit of nonsense, check out Ten Dead Men.

kickingbuttssince1976 Know of this film from reading Impact magazine in the UK, bought a copy when I went over to the States this week… Being a fan of Left For Dead all I can say is Wow! 10 Dead Men is well wicked… much better than Left For Dead (which I liked a lot also). If you like bloody over the top action movies that are just relentlessly violent from start to finish then this is the film for you.Brendan Car is rock hard scary and even Lee from UK band Steps is pretty good. It's got Silvio Simac (Transporter 3), Pooja Shah (Eastenders) and loads of faces from Brit films and TV such as Chris Jones, Glenn Salvage, Terry Stone and more.This is a well wicked movie that any action fan should watch.

joker_greenhouse I never give up on a film, but I jacked this one in after only 20 Min's just now. Bad camera shots, equally bad editing and sound post production. The score is one of the worst I've ever heard. I really could knock up up better one right now (even the instruments/sounds used are cheap ass midi tacky rubbish).And to cap it all, (bearing in mind this is meant to be a hard bloke sorta film), it's only got Lee Latchford-Evans from a crappy British Village People-esquire pop band called 'Steps' that destroyed the airwaves for a good ten years or so.. trying to act hard/gangster. Even if your not British and don't know who he is, it's still not gonna sit right.I get the feeling the whole thing is devised and made by inexperienced, retired cage fighters still high on after show testosterone fuelled steroid binges.

Ryan Hunter I was hoping that "10 Dead Men" was going to be as good as "Rise of the Foot Soldier." The premise/plot is a decent yet typical tale of revenge while the fight choreographing is superb. The acting, dialog, cinematography and editing are horrible (i.e. terrible directing).The small budget excuses the poor cinematography and editing however it doesn't excuse the bad acting, dialog and overall horrible directing.The film seems more a vehicle for sadistic homo-erotica than serious story-telling with lots of violent BDSM, torture, transvestites, and big burly men.As a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fan I was offended by the film's portrayal of MMA competitors as brutal, blood-thirsty, mindless goons.The entire film is summed up in one scene halfway though the movie. Two of the main characters are mindlessly watching TV on the couch. The supporting actor channel surfs past an MMA fight to a porn channel which bores and annoys Ryan (the main character). Ryan then takes the remote and returns to watching the MMA fight and is visibly excited by the action.If you're looking for a film featuring homo-erotica, BDSM and MMA to watch with your guy buddies then this is the flick for you. However if you are looking for a good action film like "Rise of the Foot Soldier" look somewhere else.Don't be fooled by a high IMDb rating of this film. I watched it as it had an IMDb rating of 8.1/10 with 156 votes. After watching the film I am very certain that the entire cast and everyone they know voted a 10 for this movie.I rated it a 4/10 as the fight choreographing is superb.
