Simply Perfect

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Wow, I am amazed.How can anyone bring together Enfield rifles, NAZI uniforms and helmets, working helicopters and FWD vehicles in the post apocalypse all under the general unit designation of Satan? Because they are Satan and Satan was an Asian silly! Dolph does his best to express Keenu Reeves like emotion in this action packed thriller drama comedy sci-fi horror of post apocalyptic Asian NAZI dominance by supermen who are definitely not Asian, except Satan in a communist uniform of course, and antique weaponry.If this is any guide to the apocalypse, be prepared to dive when something explodes, use antique firearms from WWII and fight cheesy action heroes dressed in who knows what (I'm hoping drag).

Set in some bizarre time frame; a medieval hillbilly fascist kung fu post apocalyptic scenario type place, it is a plain story told with lots of visual flourish. The action is John Woo-ish but pretty good with lots of wasted bodies tumbling in picturesque slow motion and colourful explosions and Dolph Lundgren (apart from being burdened with the descriptive monicker 'Warchild'(!) instead of a real name) looks fit and fearless doing the macho bits. He is not a great actor but he does have presence. He can't do romance though.Valerie Chow is bland but Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is good value as always. The man does look mean. God has blessed him with a cinematically villainous face. It is odd though to see long standing familiar British actors like John Bennett and Jo Kendall turn up. It all adds to the bizarre charm of the film I suppose. It must also be part of the odd nature of the film in that there were no bridges and no dragons anywhere.

This movie amazed me. It amazed me that I was even able to watch it. How in the world did this movie get any sort of funding? A video game obsessed eleven year old boy must have wrote it. The adult entertainment industry has come up with better plots. The random Nazi uniforms are the best. I think I saw a stage hand but I couldn't tell. He might have been a character. This movie gave me the stigmata. I would rather wipe my rear end with rotting garbage that is on fire than watch this movie again. To make someone watch this movie is torture. The worst kind of torture. I give this movie four turds out of five stars.

I've seen several of Lungren's films, and he has the ability to make an entertaining action star. He did some great work in things like "Showdown in Little Tokyo." This, however, is between a poor attempt at making an action film and crap-on-a-stick.The plot is clichéd and not too well done. Lungren is Warchild (WHAT a name!!), a soldier who works for a general who turns out to be evil (played by Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa, the only decent actor in the whole film). When the living princess (the very attractive but severely untalented Valerie Chow), who is engaged to the general, learns that he killed her parents, she flees, and Warchild is sent to find her. When he finally gets it through his head that the general, who raised him, is evil, he joins the resistance and fights against the general.Lungren pulls off some decent action, making good use of his feet in his fights (he really could do that more, but oh well); his acting is what you'd expect if you've ever seen him before. The gunfights are half decent, half corny. Valerie Chow, I'm sorry to say, could not act her way into a children's theatre, which is a terrible testament to her, considering how lovely of a woman she is.You might watch this if you are either extremely bored, desperate, drunk, or have kids who are old enough to start seeing action films. (there is nothing in this film you could not show a decent-aged kid). Don't approach this thing if you place high value on the use of your brain matter.
