♥♥♥♥♥ |
this was a nice and unexpected surprise
|
For a title that I was totally unfamiliar with and actors I have not heard of, Ring of Steel turned out to be better than the typical B-grade swordsfight/martial arts action film. All the actors do a good job of never overacting, which is just too common in these types of films. The action is choreographed well. There is even some humor thrown in that is actually humurous for a change. The story is nothing impressive, though there are elements of suspense to it here and there with a few small surprises.
The best thing I liked about Ring of Steel is the underground fight locale. The scene in the beginning of the film takes us from the entrance to a dance club on the streets, and from there practically by footstep to eventually the illegal gambling arena. It gave me a feeling that I was actually there and no other such movie that I have seen before gave me that feeling. The fighters are pretty decent and the whole gig reminded me of American Samurai, though not as violent and thankfully, not as overdramatic in the acting department. There are lots of fights in Ring of Steel, though none overly impressive.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ring of Steel, especially because I was expecting a 2 star film at the best. Everything is done adequately, but nothing stuck out as being very impressive. The music kept a sense of cheesiness throughout much of the movie that could have been avoided and provided a more intenseful atmosphere. But overall, this movie doesn't disappoint, especially if you like a good arena with fight matches and swordsplay. |
