Hawk the Slayer, 1980 – ★★★

Scrappy, sincere, and bursting with old-school charm—it’s the kind of earnest fantasy romp they just don’t make anymore.

Black Death, 2010 – ★★★

Bleak, grimy, and gripping, it pulls you into its brutal world and refuses to let go. A moody medieval thriller that lingers.

Next Exit, 2022 – ★★

A strong concept weighed down by predictability—once you see where it’s headed, there’s little left to discover.

Rabid Dogs, 2015 – ★★★

Taut and stripped-down, it delivers a lean dose of tension. Doesn’t eclipse the original, but stands strong on its own.

Gallants, 2010 – ★★

Starts with charm and energy, but slowly loses steam as it goes—what begins strong fades into something far less memorable.

Face/Off, 1997 – ★★★★

Operatic gunfights, wild performances, and pure ’90s excess—an unapologetic blast that turns action into high art chaos.

Beast of War, 2025 – ★★★

A fresh historical backdrop gives this shark tale some bite. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but the setting alone makes it worth a look.
