13 Dead Men (2003)
13 Dead Men is a fast paced Urban action drama.
From the opening titles over colorful graffitti to the stark prison cells, 13 dead men delivers. I was sucked into the film from the get-go. The cinematography was very stark and it had a gritty feel to it. When all others are doing their rendition of "Hong Kong cinema" this film took a hundred eighty degree turn and went "Old school" with its fight action. The Director opted for hand held rough and tumble action that made it feel real. The characters were well defined with a true sense of purpose which is a rare treat since most characters in films of this genre are one-dimensional. The overall direction of both the drama and action is very stylish. Mystikal was one of the shining lights in this film. He outdid himself in this one as an actor. In spite of the low budget feel to it, the movie is really enjoyable.
Tiger Heart (1996)
Tiger Heart is a fun, "action-fest" of a movie
I expected the worst but got what might be some of the funnest. Even though at times the script is full of holes and the acting might not be the strongest I still enjoyed the movie as a whole. The star TJ Roberts carried his role with a sense of fun and panache and his action choreographed by action-meister Art Camacho was an homage to Bruce Lee without taking itself so seriously. If you want to watch a serious action film this is not for you but if you want to spend s 90 minutes having a good time, watch this movie. The direction was very well done and in fact saved the film from it's barely passable script.
