SYNOPSIS:
Max and Wu, brothers & long-time rivals, are
competing in the world’s most dangerous
underground fighting tournament, where
powerful crime lords gamble on every detail
— from the opponents, to the terrain, to the
weapons used. In this high-stakes bloodsport
where one wrong move means certain death,
they must decide whether to play by the rules
or set their honor aside and team up against
the dark syndicate controlling the
tournament — and bring the entire system
down.
Directed by: Chaya Supannarat Starring: D.Y. Sao, Andy Le, Brian Le, Craig Ng, Apasiri Kulthanan, Selina Wiesmann, Geoffrey Giuliano, Bear Williams, Elliott Allison, Ron Smoorenburg with Sahajak Boonthanakit and Byron Bishop
The film debuted last month during the 3rd annual Big Bad Film Fest, and I was honored to be one of the first to see it. During a festival that included some of the best action films of the year including Scott Adkins’ Prisoner of War, Marko Zaror’s Affinity and the off the charts Japanese Yakuza actioner Isolated, Gladiator Underground definitely made its presence felt and the future is bright for the talent involved here. I served up a rapid-fire reaction to the film as full reviews are still under embargo so read what I had to say below!

Sao, Andy Le and Brian Le deliver a ferocious homage to the old school fight films of the past in a dizzying and non-stop barrage of hardcore martial arts entertainment that rips from the opening salvo to the climatic and epic final assault.
