Review of Belly of the Beast (2003) by Mohammad Javad H — 27 Jul 2008

Good movie...

I truly enjoyed this movie. I would like to see this character reappear and I would like to see the character fleshed out and to become more complex. I like his relationship with his daughter, I found his friendship and the pain that is there, it would have been nice to see this expanded somewhat. It jumps around a bit and it took a couple of viewings to get a really good feel for it, but I enjoyed the movie and I think it is one of his better ones. It does not have a huge amount of martial arts action in this film, but what it does have it good. People need to remember that the style he uses is not an offensive style, but a more passive style that turns the energy of the attacker back on the attacker.

I like it.
