Mu Sa Do (2002) Reviews
Bad acting but good fight scenes
I borrowed this film from a buddy of mine and my impression of it is that it lacks a story line, but the fight scenes seem realistic and are entertaining to watch. The action scenes actually looked better than some Hollywood fight films. I think it over used some clichés such as the Danny and Donny (dumb and dumber) characters and the "bad" oriental war lord, who is played by a dude I've never seen before in any film and looks a bit comatose. The reporter wasn't smart and edgy, but bitchy. But the fighting looked good and over all it wasn't a horrible film. It shouldn't have tried to tell a story, it should just have had more action. Bottom line: Low budget and bad actors, but great stunts!
Horrible worst movie i have ever seen
Quite possibly the worst movie i have ever seen. The directing is god awful. The acting is incredibly cheesy, and the script is as cliché as it gets.There are moments where you think that this movie is being directed by a nine year older with a camcorder. But even a 9 year old could do better. The story is about a reporter who wants to investigate a murder during a fight. This leads her to a middle of nowhere town, where she befriends a fish salesman. Thats right a fish man has connections to the underground fight circuits. Now you may be wondering if this film redeems itself in the fight scenes. It's what i was hoping, dead wrong they hardly touch each other, and most of the fight constitutes of them taking their shirts off and flexing while the camera zooms in on some random guy flaunting what seems to be Canadian bills. Laurie Hanley (Chase) is the only one who can almost act the rest just need to be hanged. Nastasha Baron is the worst director on this planet and hopefully will=never direct again. Avoid this piece of junk at all costs, its so bad its not even funny anymore.!!!!!!!!!!
Flat and Dull
Suk (Suk Woo Nam as himself?) was not named after this movie. Rather, he is the best fighter on the underground Punchfighting scene in "Vegas". Whenever the corrupt bosses who run the fights need a win, they call in Suk. A reporter for a TV station named SVS (are we sure it's not the CBC?) named Chase Somete - and because the audio quality of this movie is so bad, it sounds like everyone is calling her Jason X - brings along her cameraman, the lovable Andre (Simpson) and the prissy and annoying soundman Jimmy Olsen (presumably no relation to the Daily Planet reporter) (Wadden), and off the three of them go to initiate their investigative reportage about Suk. However, the three get more than they bargained for as they go deeper and deeper into the shady world of Punchfighting. With the help of a local fish salesman named Gill (get it?) (Amoroso), will Chase and her compadres get to the truth about Suk and the Las Vegas underground fight scene? Las Vegas Warrior is a dreary outing that has about as much fun and excitement as an overcast Canadian winter. Just because a movie has the words "Las" and/or "Vegas" in the title, it does not necessarily mean said movie was shot there. It could be Canadian, for instance. To be fair, this also goes by the name Fightclub Warrior, although that title has its own problems. But why not call it "New Brunswick Warrior" or something like that and stay true to your Canadian roots? Anyway, this movie makes the similarly-themed The Circuit (2002) look like a masterpiece. In addition to the aforementioned poor sound quality, we also have equally dingy, video camera-esque picture quality. The whole thing is extremely low-rent and the rock-bottom budget is evident in every scene. Not that the latter is in itself a bad thing, but director Baron seemingly didn't know how to use what she had to her advantage. For example, most of the characters (except for the jovial Andre) are whiny. This includes our heroes Chase and Suk. For no reason whatsoever, there are these two-second flashes in between some random scenes. Maybe they thought they would liven things up or make it seem hip and cool. Irritating the already-tired eyes of the viewers is not cool, people. These unnecessary flashes were also used in The Circuit. Coincidence? Well, probably. But it's not a good sign of confidence in the strength of your movie. Plotwise, there's no big, final villain. No one to build up to. No Matthias Hues, Ralf Moeller, or Wolf Larson for Suk to fight. Just...nobody. The soundtrack to all this is almost as whiny as the characters themselves. Early 2000's-style crud-rock by bands called Dog Eat Dogma, Universal Freak, and Les Respectables pollute our ears the entire time. To be fair yet again, the other music on the soundtrack is credited to a Ferocious LeFonque. This may be a character on RuPaul's Drag Race, but we're too busy watching Las Vegas Warrior to know for sure. Another problem is that this movie needed a name. ANY name. In our review for Expert Weapon, we lamented the dearth of Joe Estevez in that film. If we may quote ourselves, "When your movie NEEDS MORE JOE ESTEVEZ, you have a problem." To update that for today's proceedings, we would say forget more Joe Estevez, when your movie needs any Joe Estevez, you've got a problem. Hell, get any Estevez. Get Phil Estevez. Get anybody! Just...help! In the end, the low budget of Las Vegas Warrior could have been transcended with a better script, more exciting and diverse fight scenes, and less amateurish technical qualities. Unfortunately, none of that happens, and the result is flat and dull.
how bad can it get?
you thought you saw terrible pictures? try this one it's so bad i didn't thought they would allow people to make these kind of white screen thrash. with this picture is the fast forward button even to slow. do yourself a favour and don't put this in your vcr or dvd player, don't rent it, and don't even think about buying it!!! forget this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Potentially very good, nice fight scenes.
I actually enjoyed this movie, for a low budget film the fight scenes were well acted out. This was done also with the inclusion of two Professional Mixed Martial Arts Fighters- Mauro Renallo and Alexi Zarjampour(who dies at the start of the film). I fought the film was very realistic in that the main male character - Suk Nam( Suk Woo Nam )could not defeat the two bodyguards of the Irish boss. I enjoyed the ending of this film, but I shall not say what actually happen's. However my main problem with this film, is moments of rubbish acting, I think if the director was more patient and asked for more out the actors, the film would have been a lot better. Also the lack of a good storyline brings the film down.However it will get a 9 out of 10 because its low budget and how realistic the fight scenes were.
