Fatal Move

This is one of the most brutally violent films I have seen in a long time. Early on I lost track of who is who... but that doesn't really matter because Fatal Move is just an exercise in how to cut off limbs, slash throats and stab people in more and more graphic ways.

There is also a scene where a woman is tortured horribly. It is all the more terrible because we are told beforehand that once the gang have tortured her for information they are going to kill her anyway.

Occasionally there are scenes where people try and act to create a story to hang the violence to. But that doesn't last long. Soon you are back to watching people being cut up and sometimes shot.

Any time someone does something good, or appears to have something to live for other than crime, you know that they will soon be killed horribly by a bad person.

The ending attempts to be ambiguous... why bother, when everyone else is dead? Who cares if one or two or three people survive... or none... it doesn't make any difference.
