Good
Don’t buy the hype. This Mad Max-esque film is one of the bleakest films I have seen in a long time. All characters are unhappy souls, surviving in a grim world, unable to improve their lot, prone to an almost genetically determined urge to mess things up. They have egos and the big guns aren’t used to working with other people or playing by the rules. The cinematography is stark and bare, with only the soundtrack adding some effect. It’s an amazing work and everything I had hoped for. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn’t think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. Verdict: 7/10.

The Blood of Heroes — A post apocalyptic movie about a brutal sport born of the desolation
The Blood of Heroes is set in a desolate post apocalyptic future, and you can taste the dirt and the misery. It also shows Rutger Hauer at his best.

This flick never rose to fame, probably because of its weird choice of topic, a brutal game that looks like a mix of chess, American football, and ancient Rome gladiatorial combat. There’s blood and pain at every turn. So it’s not for everyone, but the quality is there.

The imagery, costumes, makeup, and action are without reproach. The story might not bring anything new to the table, but the world sure does, and it’s showed in full details. The dialogs are simple, yet very effective, and no quick easy slick remark, jut hard harsh statements fitting the whole scene.

The only reproach I would make is that the pellicle is getting old, and without clean images, it’s getting tougher to appreciate. No widescreen, no HD. Bummer. Still, its age does show beyond that, the rest is impeccable.

If you don’t mind violence, see it.
