Review of Among Dead Men (2008) by Robert H — 11 Dec 2013
The concept behind this film is quite simple and could have made for an ok low budget action flick. Unfortunately this is a micro budget movie with amateurs at the wheel. As such, it looks bad, has some less than stellar fight sequences, has painfully terrible audio and not much in the good books.
It does however show potential. Lead actor El Rico shows some skill and presence as a fighter and actor. I think he'd do about as well if not better than early JCBD and Seagal. The fight sequences, while poorly done, did show a little ray of hope that there was some skill when it came to the choreography, directing and editing but it wasn't nearly enough to make the scenes truly work. The writing is probably the worst thing in the film, coupled with some bad acting, lame cinematography and directing, makes Among Dead Men a pointless and as such fruitless endeavor.
It does have Grandmaster William Cheung in the film for a bit so I gave it a star... cause he's the man.
