I'm not going to post a trailer, but a clip from the movie.
Saw this the other day. This instantly gets my vote for "Badass Movie of 2012". I don't care about any badass action movies that come out later this year.
Fuck that looks soo good

Reminds me of an Asian movie I saw a trailer for not too long ago: some people trying to kill a drug lord by working their way through a project he rules over or something like that. Anybody remember what that was called? Has it been released yet? I really wanna see it...

Note the word 'Redemption' at the end. It was originally called The Raid, but XYZ Films executives want to remake this into an American movie set for 2014.

I watched The Hunger Games yesterday. What a piece of crap. Battle Royale tears it to shreds. The main character is a boring hull for adolescent fans to slip into. The first hour is boring and just the movie begging the audience to care for the hero. I actually started to root against her. The other characters don't even feel like real people.
Then the actual Hunger Games are just not exciting and interesting at all. I don't blame the novel / movie for being similar to Battle Royale or its dystopian predecessors. I blame it for failing at being anything but a greasy ball off teen schmaltz that is not held together by any logical progression.
Last week I also saw Letter never sent, which is an excellent Soviet film. Like Hunger Games it features survival in nature and a forest fire. What a contrast! Take the forest fire, the Russian's cinematography owns that of Hunger Games in it's teen-angsty CGI anus.
The Hunger Games 3/10 Letter Never Sent 7.5/10
and just to remind everyone: Battle Royale 9/10
