Scott Adkins, Tim Man - Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (2013)

[badassbutterfly1987]

Seized (2020) review

Summary: A former special forces agent races to save his kidnapped son after a crime lord forces the veteran to murder members of three rival syndicates.

The Scott Adkins/Isaac Florentine combo usually makes for a solid movie and I'm glad this one continues that. Solid story and solid action, which is good because the latter is what this type of movie's audience is looking for.

The only notable mark against it (aside from the random topless nudity prevalent in DTV movies) is that the son is an annoying bratty preteen which isn't helped by the actor's flat acting. Thankfully he's only in a handful of scenes.

The resolution was unexpected in a refreshing way. Considering how routine and formulaic this genre can be, that's definitely a positive.

Fight everyone and trust no one: it’s the code of survival practiced by martial-arts master Casey Bowman after his life of domestic bliss is shattered by a savage act of violence. Vowing revenge, the fearless American stealthily tracks the killer from Osaka to Bangkok to Rangoon with the help of a wise and crafty sensei. His only clues: a series of victims whose necks bear the distinctive mark of strangulation by barbed wire. Fighting to avenge as well as to survive, Casey must sharpen his razor-like responses and take his battle skills to the next level, even using deep meditation to fake his own death. His target: the sinister drug lord Goro, who is flooding the streets with deadly meth cooked at his remote jungle factory. To prepare for his ultimate confrontation, Casey must finally become an invisible warrior worthy of the name Ninja. But just when his prey is cornered, an unexpected twist shows Casey that his battle is only beginning: he truly can trust no one. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Clarkson Action Director: Tim Man Martial Arts Choreographer: Brahim Achabbakhe Movie Reviews: MovieGuys: Like a medium rare steak, with fries, coleslaw and an ice cold beer, Ninja Shadow of a Tear is simple but satisfying. This martial arts action flick is reminiscent of 80’s and 90’s martial arts films. Its not trying to be clever. Instead, its fast paced, entertaining and fun. Scott Atkins martial arts are top shelf and this flick gives him the opportunity to literally “let loose”. Indeed, the cast, which includes the son of a famous 80’s martial arts action star and extra’s, all appear to have above average martial arts skills. This lends this film polish and flair, that shows in the final product. Fight scenes that dominate this film, are crisply choreographed, a little inventive and fast paced. In summary, a great 80’s,90’s style martial arts action film, that’s entertaining from beginning to end. Keep em coming….!

Award-winning country music legend, Moe Bandy is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Top 10 duet with Becky Hobbs, “Let’s Get Over Them Together.” Written by Charlie Craig and Keith Stegall, “Let’s Get Over Them Together” became Bandy’s 16th Top 10 hit and continues to be a fan favorite. Bandy was recently inducted into the Class of 2023 of The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame along with The Texas Ranger Division of the Department of Public Safety, San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, Cleo Hearn, and Boots O’Neal. Bandy, was a proud competitor in bull riding prior to pursuing country music full-time. He now joins the ranks of Willie Nelson, George Strait, Red Steagall, Lyle Lovett, Clay Walker, Robert Earl Keen, Aaron Watson, and Bob Wills who have all received this prestigious honor. “This was such an exciting time in my life and career that I will never forget,” shares Bandy. “I was on the road and recording nonstop, which is what I had always dreamed of. When I heard Becky Hobbs for the first time, I knew she was destined for great things! When we went into the studio and recorded “Let’s Get Over Them Together,” it was clear this would be a single. We had a great run with it and hope you are still enjoying it today!” “I met Moe when I opened for him at the Coffeyville, Kansas Fair & Rodeo,” shares Becky Hobbs. “After the show, he was very complimentary and said, “If you had a hit record, you’d be dangerous!” He asked me if I’d be interested in doing a duet, and the rest is history. Moe is genuinely one of the nicest people on the planet, a heckuva singer/entertainer, and a forever friend.” Bandy recently released his new album, ‘Thank You Lord.’ Delivering a heartfelt project, Bandy recorded twelve heartfelt tracks and features special guests The Isaacs on “Family Bible” and The Oak Ridge Boys with Nora Lee Allen on “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” The title track, written by Mo Pitney, Bobby Tomberlin, and Cheryl Riddle offers a true reflection of where Bandy is in his life today, of which he is thankful for another mile, another day, and a life many could have only dreamed of. ‘Thank You Lord’ features tunes from prominent Nashville songwriters including Willie Nelson, Bill Anderson, Hank Williams, and more! The twelve-track project was produced by Michele Voan Capps and sponsored by Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms and is available on all streaming platforms now!

We have all made mistakes and decisions that we may regret, but you have to look at the positives. God has been so good to me. He has given my family blessings that I never dreamed were even possible. I am so thankful to Him and wanted this album to fully reflect my faith in God. A special thanks to Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms for their continued support and for making this album a reality.” For further information, visit HERE. ‘Thank You Lord’ Track Listing: Thank You Lord (Bobby Tomberlin, Mo Pitney, Cheryl Riddle) Family Bible ft.

Scott Adkins vs. Silvio Simac -  Undisputed II: Last Man Standing (2006)

[badassbutterfly1987]

2024 Film Reviews (January-June)

5 stars

Much Ado About Nothing (1993): Just a solid adaptation. Everyone is charming and witty, even aside from a couple dodgy accents.

Short Term 12 (2012): Oof, not an easy watch. Deals with high-risk foster kids in a surprisingly understated way, which I think makes it all the more effective.

Point Break (1991): Yeah I can see why this became an action classic. Charming leads (especially Patrick Swayze) and enough little odd details to make it memorable. Folks weren't overstating the queer subtext either.

The Fandom (2020): The history of the furry fandom. Definitely an interesting watch.

4 stars

Man of Tai Chi (2013): I ended up enjoying it. Solid acting, action, and story even if it's a bit generic. A callback to older martial arts movies. Script has some weaker points but overall it's both a good highlight reel for Tiger Chen and a strong directorial debut for Keanu Reeves.

Seized (2020): The Scott Adkins/Isaac Florentine combo usually makes for a solid movie and I'm glad this one continues that. Solid story and solid action, which is good because the latter is what this type of movie's audience is looking for. The only notable mark against it (aside from the random topless nudity prevalent in DTV movies) is that the son is an annoying bratty preteen which isn't helped by the actor's flat acting. Thankfully he's only in a handful of scenes. The resolution was unexpected in a refreshing way. Considering how routine and formulaic this genre can be, that's definitely a positive.

Destination Wedding (2018): What happens when you have two awkward pessimistic cranky introverts dragged to a wedding for people they hate? They sit in the corner judging everyone else and bantering back and forth. Points docked for a couple casual lines of homophobia and transphobia.

3 stars

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023): Middle of the road superhero film, a general downgrade from the first one. Some scenes work while others feel perfunctory. Hard to tell if the weak material was present in the script or if executive meddling/behind the scenes drama is to blame.

Madame Webb (2024): It's... not great. Very messy script, plot doesn't gel together well, and there's a lot of slow moments. But it is an interesting watch, in the ways it feels more like the 2000s era superhero movies that what the MCU has been doing. Characters are fun even if they aren't much more developed than their archetypes. Also like how the movie shows her pre-cog powers and how disorienting they can be, even if the editing gets a little too frenetic at times.

Godzilla x Kong (2024): Fun action scenes, pacing problems, good Kong moments, and mediocre human moments (Jia is a standout and the overall acting is good, it's just the script is lacking). Visuals are cool but some of the effects used are dizzying to look at. More of a Kong movie than a Godzilla movie, Goji only gets a couple notable moments beyond fighting and swimming around.

Kickboxer Vengeance (2016): Good choreography weakened by choppy camera work. Alain Moussi makes for a charming lead, JCVD is fun in the mentor role, and Dave Bautista has an intimidating presence as the antagonist. Typical revenge story has a bit of a tell instead of show problem.

IF (2024): It's fine. It's cute at points. I fully dreaded that this would be an insufferable mess and it is at points; the first act in general and Steve Carrell as Blue in particular. Two notable moments of visual and auditory noise that had me curled up in my seat. The second half is decent and there's a fun reveal with one of the characters I liked.

Red Notice (2021): A fun though not especially unique action comedy about a trio of thieves. The humor is pretty hit or miss, depends on the viewer feelings about self-aware referential humor and Joss Whedon esque quippy lines.I did like the fun twists and turns though.

Undisputed III: Redemption, Isaac Florentine, 2010, EEUU

Tercera entrega de una saga que inició Walter Hill, pero a la cual la personalidad combinada de Florentine y Adkins dieron su verdadera naturaleza. El sentimiento es el mismo, un western carcelario sobre la búsqueda de la dignidad personal, pero todo avanza progresivamente hacia el pulp, en un combinado de peli de gladiadores modernos y toque casi de spaghetti western. Todo ello llevado al extremo al tomar al villano con honor de la entrega anterior y reconstruirlo como héroe.

[darringauthier]

Seized (2020)

Genre: Action

Who's In It: Scott Adkins, Mario Van Peebles, Karlee Perez, Steve Edler

Who Directed It: Isaac Florentine

Plot: A former special forces agent's son is kidnapped and must now wipe out three dangerous crime syndicates, if he wants to see his son alive again.

Run Time: 85 Minutes

IMDB Score: 5.2

Why I Watched It: Simple answer Scott Adkins

How I Watched It: Netflix Canada

Random Thoughts: One of my favorite sub-genres in all of film is the Action B-Movie, in the old days it was directed to video, then direct to DVD and now it's directed to VOD. However you cut it done right they're always a lot of fun and you only did a couple of things to make them right and the most important is a solid action lead and for me right now Scott Adkins is right at the top, there's a few good ones working today but Adkins is my favorite. I will say he's getting older and you can see he's being smarter about what and how much action he does.

Also that poster is pretty good, just saying.

What I Liked: I've seen a lot of Scott Adkins movies and sadly when they're bad well yup they're really bad and I went into this one thinking it was a cookie cutter cliched action film and it is but it's fun and I was surprised by it and I shouldn't have been. This film has three good things going for it, one is the team of Adkins and Florentine when ever they team up you have a chance of a cool action flick and even when's it's not great it's still watchable. The second thing is Mario Van Peebles, who stole the movie for me. He's just having fun and he's so charismatic and smooth you have to cheer for him. He also gets to play one of my favorite action characters a bad guy who might not be all bad and the movie might have someone worse than him. The third thing the film has is pacing and tone, the film is under 90 minutes and it's tight and it has a good upbeat tempo to it.

The action is good not great but there's a couple of cool sequences, the film is fun as Adkins has these chores to do and everyone is a bit different with a different location so it keeps the pace quick and you don't get bored.

What I Didn't Like: The film is very cliched and it's action 101 and I have to say Adkins is a little bland and to be honest he's played this role many times before but he's Scott Adkins so I'm on board. I just wished he had more to play with it especially in contrast to Van Pebles who chews the scenery and gets to big big and loud.

The whole kidnapped son and the relationship between him and his father played by Adkins is very by the book so much so I've seen this same dynamic at least a hundred times before. I also wished Adkins and Van Peebles had more scenes together they mostly talk on the phone. I will give Van Peebles a lot of credit for not sitting down the whole time while on the phone, this guy is always moving and always doing something.

Final Verdict: It's not a great film but I enjoyed it and it's above average for this kind of film and at least the actors and director tried and it shows.

Rating: 6/10
