Boyka Undisputed (2016) SSMR Movie Review

Boyka: Undisputed 4 (2016)

A spin-off in the Undisputed movie universe.

Featuring a Russian-accented Scott Atkins, one of my favourite actors of all time, someone who makes every fake punch look good.

Intricate MMA-inspired choreography to rival the Raid, flawlessly captured with wide angles. The fighting segments are pleasantly split up by romance and gangster themes.

Highly artistic and classical colour schemes, with strong contrasts and unquestionable colour-washing. Editing is exemplarily crisp, with masterful control over pacing.

The raw and winding tale is enacted by a middling and untested mostly-Russian cast that sets a dark tone with strong consistency. Although the audio score is beneficially accomplished, small inadequacies pop up a few times.

Sprinkled with masculine dramatics, Boyka Undisputed hits the gas from the go and never lets up. A thrilling, unflawed masterclass of action cinema.

The Crude Deception of American Gods

If you follow this site, you’ll know I keep things simple. American Gods was marketed as an exciting and complex TV show, the adverts quoted: “a show to rival Game of Thrones”. The trailers looked quality and the production had good pedigree. Plus, it has Ricky Whittle as a lead. I was intrigued and hopeful.

Killer Mermaid (Nympho) Movie Review SSMR

In this low-budget horror, a group of rich holiday-makers get in the way of a (Title). I have no idea why this movie has the alternative names of 'Nympho' and 'Killer Mermaids', we never get to see the mermaid in coitus and there is only one of them, but there sure is a lot of sexiness and killing going on.
