Trailer
Why watch this film?
With an action-packed 1980s vibe, 'River Runs Red' is one of those trashy productions of the genre. The makeup isn't very well done, the script is full of holes and John Cusack's (‘2012’) and Taye Diggs' (‘Chicago’) performances are totally on autopilot. Still, director Wes Miller (of the recent ‘Borderland’) manages to recover from these damages and use the problems to his advantage. After all, 'River Runs Red' is one of those movies that knows its limitations and plays with it, generating a free, light and loose fun. For this, however, the audience must embark on the idea and not care about these flaws that pop up throughout the 94 minutes of duration. Without a doubt, it will be a simple entertainment, not very memorable, but that can serve to pass the time and perhaps get excited.

From the same director
Hell On the Border
"Hell on the Border" brings a salad of elements to justify its existence. It has a subplot about strong racism in the 19th century United States, a story of overcoming, long action scenes, bucolic environments and detestable characters. Maybe if director Wes Miller (from the forgettable "River Runs Red") had focused only on essential elements, it would have been a better movie. Still, it could be an interesting feature. Fans of classic westerns will find an intense pursuit atmosphere, heavily based on the racial issue, as well as entertaining performances by Ron Perlman ("Hellboy") and Frank Grillo ("Captain America: Civil War"). It's not perfect. But it can serve as an unpretentious fun for those who like the genre.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
