When I decided to check out "The Tournament" the expectations were moderate. Actually I expected
it to be a pleasant DTV title with a couple of cool actors.
What I got instead was a thrilling actioner that surpasses most of the theatrical releases of the same
genre. The action is hyperkinetic and violent, and Scott Mann has undisputed Hollywood potential.
The plot about the assassin tournament is clean and simple, a lot like "Taken" and when it comes to
comparison between these two films, only advantage for "Taken" is Liam Neeson. "The Tournament"
provides solid acting but it doen't have such a potent star. Actually, if we consider its budget, "The
Tournament" is really outstanding in terms of casting because it combines available theatrical-feature
actors like Kelly Hu, Liam Cunningham,, Robert Carlyle and Ving Rhames with top DTV names like
Scott Adkins. Scott Adkins' potential was obvious ever since he first appeared in Isaac Florentine
films and in "the Tournament" he is accompanied by Sebastien Foucan, the parkourist we remember
from "Casino Royale".
Fight scenes are marvelously staged, with great fight choreography, but also outstanding gunplay
and vehicle stunts. When it comes to the sheer amount of action "The Tournament" gives you the
most for bang for the buck. It is very hard to invent some new kinds of action set-pieces and
choreographies but in a couple of scenes "Rhe Tournament" does that.
Also, you must bear in mind that action is very violent and gory. The sheer amount of gore is
comparable to Neill Blomkamp's "District 9". Bloodletting is stylish and lavish and Scott Mann really
has the guts (quite literally) to pull it off.
I am surprised that this film failed to get theatrical release. I mean, it's quite obvious that American
distributors wouldn't release because none of the stars are a draw in the US but I guess it should've
worked quite well internationally.
Writer Gary Young was lucky to move on into theatrical business with Matthew Vaughn production
"Harry Brown". I hope Scott Mann will accomplish the same.
