FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ibneshad If you are a fan of 2018's best selling PUBG games, this movie is highly recommended for you. The entire story of this movie is kinda like PUBG's story line. i hope, you will enjoy this movie. :)

A_Different_Drummer At first glance it checks all the boxes: madman running a contest between champions from a safe distance; greedy ultra-rich gambling on the lives of those they consider lesser; cameras everywhere; interesting cameos; mayhem and violence ...But then you look closer and you see A-list production values and a novel "redemption" twist with a priest in the game (well played by Robert Carlyle) -- and this strange arc comes to dominate the film and hold interest, even with all the shooting and explosives.And amazingly it more or less works. It entertains. Does what it is supposed to (within the confines of the genre).Always great to see Kelly Hu in action too, arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world. She did not do enough movies.

NateWatchesCoolMovies The Tournament is just about as awesome as action movies can get, and just about as bloody too. I love films involving assassins, contests, games, violence and such. The Running Man was clearly a huge influence on this one, right down to the inclusion of a larger than life game show host, here played by Liam Cunningham. Liam plays a shadowy nut job named Powers, and every four years he arranges an elaborate and incredibly destructive Olympic games for contract killers and psychos alike. Every time he hosts it in a new city, using hidden cameras and explaining away the damage with disasters and attacks. If this sounds so very 80's, it is. We're in throwback city here, with a touch of modern tone not unlike Joe Carnahan's Smokin Aces. The reigning champion is Joshua Harlow (Ving Rhames), a brutal warrior who has been coaxed back into the game with revenge on his mind. Each assassin is fitted with a tracking device so they can track each other, an idea which goes haywire when a civilian accidentally gets stuck with one and ends up in the cross hairs. The civilian in question is a drunken priest (lol) played by Robert Carlyle, who has no idea what's going on and suddenly has a dwindling life expectancy. He catches a break when a lethal but sympathetic female competitor (beauty queen Kelly Hu is an angel of physicality) takes pity and decides to help him out. They've got quite an armada to cut through though, including a rowdy cockney whacko (Craig Conway) a parkour master (Sebastian Foucan), an ex Spetsnaz freak (Scott Adkins) with a habit of blowing stuff up left right and center, and lastly a Texan pretty boy lunatic played cheerfully by Ian Somerhalder. He's so evil they just had to include a bit where he shoots a stray dog in the face without batting a perfect eyelash (animal lovers, you've been forewarned). All this mayhem is taken in by Powers and his sickening audience of wealthy kingpins, who sit in a great big boardroom and bet on the outcome of the carnage. Cunningham is a blast of devilish charm as Powers, an amoral villain of dark showmanship and sociopathic class. Between exploding heads, grenades ripping through the streets of London, frenetic hand to hand combat, colorful personalities, over the top depictions of bad human behavior and a general sense of hedonistic, slash and burn glee, this is one for the books.

nanccakes I am in love with Ian Somerhalder, so my goal is to watch all of his films. I loved this movie! This film was full of action. I enjoyed the storyline. I actually didn't know if this movie was going to be any good, but I was pleasantly surprised.I liked that they used a priest and an assassin to form a relationship. They needed each other and it was perfect.Miles Slade, played by Ian, was a complete ASSassin. I didn't like his character because he was one of the worst ones! I really hated when he shot that poor innocent dog. It was unnecessary.But all in all, this movie was badass. :)
