Nonureva Really Surprised!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Leofwine_draca I had next to no hopes for STREET WARRIOR, a TV movie variant on the kind of arena-fight films that Van Damme used to make at the beginning of his career like A.W.O.L. However, I ended up mildly enjoying it, although to be fair it's not something I'd watch again. STREET WARRIOR has the most clichéd plot imaginable, and all of the scenes are predictable, from our hero beating up some thugs robbing a store to the characters of his fellow fighters that range from Nazis to good guys in it against their will. Slick editing and a rocking soundtrack show influence from the likes of UNLEASHED, WARRIOR KING, and dozens of other movies, but STREET WARRIOR succeeds because it knows exactly what it's doing: delivering plenty of action.Max Martini, a pretty much unknown actor, is passable as the hero, not really distinctive enough to make a big impression although he's a better actor than some I've seen. Nick Chinlund overacts as the chief bad guy and there are a ton of supporting actors and actresses chosen for their looks rather than their thespian skills; whether it's the gorgeous henchwoman employed by the bad guy, the topless dancers in the strip joint, or the oiled and muscled beefed-up fighters in the ring.The action is well choreographed and fast paced and I enjoyed the fight scenes, even if they do remain utterly predictable. Unfortunately, the film begins flagging at around the halfway mark, despite its short running time, and the scenes ripped off from ONG BAK (the drugs pumped into the villain's neck, for instance) bog it down a bit; the climax is nowhere near as good as a couple of the early fights. If movies are food, then STREET WARRIOR is nothing more than a simple cheeseburger, eaten fast, easy to digest and tasting okay – and sometimes all you want is a cheeseburger.

The_Phantom_Projectionist STREET WARRIOR is one of many TV action films getting buried in the heaps of similar flicks that have sat around movie store shelves before heading towards the bargain bin. With a story that's not very inventive and fight scenes that were mediocre even at the time of its release, this is a watchable but totally overlookable addition to an already cluttered subgenre that will only truly interest fans of particular performers.The story: Discharged war veteran Jack Campbell (Max Martini) returns home to find his brother comatose after being drawn into an underground fight club controlled by a wealthy sadist (Nick Chinlund). Seeking revenge, he finds himself trapped in "the Gauntlet" as well when a family member is taken captive.The movie's biggest asset is its strong cast: though these roles could just as easily have been played by lesser-known performers, the effort put forth by Martini, Chinlund, sidekick Max Pehrlich, love interest Valerie Cruz, and a couple others is noticeable and keeps the movie watchable in lieu of a more compelling story or interesting fights.As tends to be the case with low budget action pictures, the problem with these fights is how they're shot and edited. The camera-work could be worse, but it still stays too close to the performers most of the time, making a lot of the action tough to follow. Further hindering the cohesiveness of the brawls is how clunkily shots are shoved together, oftentimes with considerable gaps in the action. Max Martini does a decent job at playing a fighter, and the martial cast is a decent mix of better- and lesser-known film fighters (including a surprisingly large Sidney Liufau as the champion), but their physical prowess can't save these mostly-bad thirteen matches.Chances are you reached this film's page because you're an action fan to begin with, and if this is the case, let me assure you that you've probably seen this movie many times before with different covers and a slightly tweaked storyline. Unless you're building a collection of underground fight flicks, this one's not worth the prices of purchase. There's just nothing new here.

Big M Styles First of all, i usually read the comments and check the ratings on IMDb before i even approve of watching a movie (unless it's a new, independent or recommended movie).This however was a gambler because there was a few comments out and all said positive things. The things mentioned in the comments were pretty juvenile described but one thing sticked in my mind, and that was concerning the fight- scenes and i love good fight scenes!, someone mentioned Jet-Li and another entertaining movie so i thought, let's stay open minded. OK folks, here we go: the fight scenes is worse than a Mma fight that runs submissively only = boring. The music during the whole movie made me feel suicidal, some corny rock/heavy metal theme that destroyed even the slightest try of creating an atmosphere. The acting was as poor as the whole plot.Im sorry i don't have anything positive to say except that Valerie Cruz was kinda hot but not as hot as to justify killing the time of watching this mess of a flick.Id give it a 0/10 if i could.

Boston_Pride I have to be honest, I didn't expect this movie to be all that good. The story has been done plenty of times, and I was expecting not to be entertained, but I was pleasantly surprised.Max Martini (The Unit) does a great job playing Jack Campbell, and is very believable as a tough guy. The fight scenes were really good, but it was mainly Max Martini that made the movie good. So if you're in and you're looking for something to watch, for just $3.99 this movie is a good watch.Very good.7/10
