4.0 out of 5 stars Blends Brit indie filmmaking with Hong Kong action!, 23 Sep 2010
An awesome piece of energetic, gritty filmmaking blending British indie with dynamic Hong Kong action from the likes of John Woo and Ringo Lam! It's also great to see stars like Cary Tagawa (Mortal Kombat) and Richard Ng (My Lucky Stars) alongside up-and-coming actors like Vincent Sze (SPL). In all, a great and stylish action drama with brutal fight scenes and an excellent sense of style!

4.0 out of 5 stars A homage to classic 1980s action cinema!, 23 Sep 2010
This review is from: Underground [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
In homage to classic 1980s action cinema, Underground follows the story of twelve individual fighters brought together to compete in an illegal underground tournament for the prize of half a million pounds. Throughout the gruelling competition each fighter will be pushed to their physical and psychological limits as they make and break alliances, fuelled by the goal of eliminating the competition.

Broken from the same mould as martial arts classics like Kickboxer and Blood Fist, Underground is a relentless, adrenaline-fuelled fight fest that takes no prisoners. Following the simple story of twelve underground fighters competing for a cash prize, the unique characters and their individual stories are told through strong characterization and flashback, thrown against some of the most brutal action sequences witnessed in a long time.

Also featuring a strong cast of up and coming British action stars like Mark Strange (Displaced, Batman Begins), Joey Ansah (The Bourne Ultimatum) and Nathan Lewis (Fight School), the talented team is shown in an incredible light under the heavily visual style of director, Chee Keong Cheung. For fans of martial arts and action cinema, generally, Underground is a ground breaking addition to a hugely successful genre.
