Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Frank Markland Gary Daniels stars as a kickboxer who is framed by mobsters and his former teacher who tested the drug on him, see this drug does something magnificent and I had to take their word for it, since it's never explained. Still lots of (badly staged) action takes place making this accessible only for Daniels' legion of fans. Capital Punishment, I found sitting in the bargain bin at my local K-Mart, and it was 3.99, of course for such a cheap DVD and cast that offered David Carradine and Gary Daniels together, it looked to be at least cheesy fun. I also expected a prison movie, since it was called, you know "Capital Punishment" unfortunately it was a badly made "martial artist kickboxes the hell out of everyone movie". The problem is we don't know who is who and therefore it becomes a challenge to even make it through the running time. Carradine by the way has maybe 5 minutes of screen time, while the fight sequences are filmed with such disinterest and lack of intensity that this adds up for nothing but the most forgiving fans of Gary Daniels. Although this terrible movie will most likely try their patience.* out of 4-(Bad)
Kimmy I picked up this movie because, every now and then, I enjoy watching the bad martial arts films that came out of the 1980s and 1990s. This is definitely one of those films, with a typical story line, bad cinematography, tons of shots that look like stock footage that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie, and the expected over acting.If you are going to watch this for the martial arts, this is not a very good movie. All of the martial art scenes are very slow and they appear to be very contrived. The one thing that I was surprised about is that a young, very hot Scott Shaw appears in this film as the bad guy cohort of David Carradine. At least for me, that made this movie worth the watch.
sveknu I just can't believe that it's possible to make martial arts movies as bad as this one. This is a great example for all future filmmakers how things should not be done. First, let talk about the fight scenes. Before watching this movie, I knew that it would be fighting almost non-stop from beginning to end. Great, I thought. The only problem is that the fight scenes just stink way beyond imagination. They were both slow and totally unspectacular, and I almost fell asleep watching.And now for the story (or lack of story). During this movie, I had huge problems in figuring out what was going on. Things just didn't make any sense at all, and I guess it's a new world record when it comes to plot holes (Calling them plot holes is way to good of a description though, since this movie really doesn't have a plot at all). And then, you could add David Carradine's worst part in a movie ever (maybe), and the same for Gary Daniels. I sure hope they have forgotten about this maximum piece of junk a long time ago.
Phroggy THIS is the pits. From beginning to end, you keep wondering : what the heck is going on ? Who's this guy ? Why are they fighting ? Where is the plot ? IS there a plot ? (Obviously, the answer is : no). The movie is so low-budgeted that they had to use stock-shots inserts from other movies, and the continuity goofs are unbelievable (Come to think of it, the whole movie is a goof). David Carradine is visible three minutes, behind a desk and behind the wheel of a truck. Gary Daniels, who was great in "Twin Dragons", deserves better.
