Awesome Movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

I remember when Gary Daniels was a rising star in the B movie industry in the 1990s. Since that period, I've hardly seen him in any movies at all, though he's kept working steadily. When I found this particular effort of his on Netflix, I decided to give it a look to see how he's been doing lately. Though judged from this movie, it doesn't seem like he's doing very well. I realize that Daniels is now in his early 50s, an age where it's harder for a martial arts actor to find quality projects, but he surely could have done better than this ultra low budget Mexican effort. It is a really crudely made exercise, with really bad cinematography and rock bottom production values. The script is even worse, with important scenes or linking footage missing, leading to a garbled story. Also, the so-called twists in the story will be no surprise to any viewer. As for the action, the martial art sequences are mediocre at best, and flat at their worst. The gunplay scenes are even worse. You'd be much better off looking in thrift stores for copies of Daniels' 1990 efforts instead of this absolutely pathetic effort.

Unless you count it as a surprise that the previews 3 reviews of this movie claim to have spoilers. Only read one of them from someone who seems to be a fan of Gary Daniels. And if you are of a certain age, you may have seen some of his movies too. You may also be wondering why he didn't become bigger. Then again, you may also realize that he probably made a lot of bad decisions.This movie is one of them. While it may have read nice on paper, this seems to come straight out of the mind of a 6 year old. Don't get me wrong, kids do have great ideas too obviously. This is not one of those cases. The script is riddled with inconsistencies, the acting if you can call it that is below average at best (with Daniels being the top dog) and an overall tension span that is so weak you may fall asleep ... Action scenes are ok if you are being kind ... and haven't seen any martial arts movie in the last decade.Obviously this all also boils down to budget and maybe the director may have more to offer. In this case though I highly and strongly recommend not watching this

RUMBLE is a very low budget martial arts film from Mexico which was designed as a vehicle for British martial artist Gary Daniels. Daniels plays the usual washed-up tournament fighter whose girlfriend is kidnapped by a sinister crime boss who then forces our hero to fight just to keep her alive. The first thing you notice about this film is the low budget, which means that it has a cheap, on-the-street look without much in the way of special effects. The second thing is that the action is pretty decent. Daniels is one of those reliable fighters who doesn't let the advance of years slow him down; he still looks great when fighting on screen and has obviously stayed in shape. The film's fight choreography is sufficiently brutal to be exciting, and there's rarely a slow motion despite the B-movie feel of it all.

Not sure what is going on with Gary, this is what the third or fourth movie he plays a retired MMA fighter.... poor guy he hit the wall he is now what 55y old.While Jean Claude Van Damme was on the big screen, you had b movie actors like gary (never understood why he never made it main stream, the guy had it all too.) who was pouring b movie martial arts direct to video, i have seen them all.It was fun to finally see Gary as a bad guy in the expendables but after that things never picked up.This movie is yet again another sad attempt at action and martial art fights, to be honest they have been making those ever since bloodsport back in 1988 i have grown tired of them ever since 1995 it is now 2017 i cannot believe people still watch those type of movies.Do yourself a favor if you seen any martial art movies in the last 15 years there is no need to see this one.
