Remember when one of those Trailers comes out online and you're like 'Wow, that's weird.'
Now remember when you forget about the Film actually coming out and then just move on with your life.
That's what happened to me until today with...
He's stitched up and brought to a Military Base in Burma, but he has amnesia.
Meanwhile, a, well, let's just call it like it is, a 'Predator' is on Earth and killing people.
It is a cross between a Predator, a Guyver and those CGI Suits that that Kryptonians in Man of Steel wore.
After meeting his old allies (who he doesn't remember) and engaging in around 26 different Fight Scenes, he ends up meeting the real Star of this Film.
Nic MUFUGGIN Cage.
He reveals the truth to our Hero- after another Fight Scene, of course.
An Alien Not Predator comes every 6 years to fight the best Earth has to offer. If they don't fight, he destroys, well, everything.
Cage ran away from his fight and hid.
Cage ran away from his fight and hid.
Apparently, our guy did as well- see the beginning- but now he's willing to work with the others to save the World.
Can our Hero master the art of Jiu Jitsu to stop the Not Predator?
Will I lose count of how many random Fight Scenes take place?
Did I only review this because it has Nic Cage and Tony Jaa in it?
To find out the answers to the first 2 questions (#3 is obviously 'Yes.'), stream it now.
It is fine...I guess. You really just need to know what to expect.
Basically, it is a series of good to alright Fight Scenes involving lots of people. In the brief bits without fighting, you get some silly Plot.
That's pretty much it.
I do like watching Tony Jaa (clearly, if I made it through Ong Bak 2 & 3) and Cage was good fun here. Too bad our Lead- like most in these kinds of Films- has to be about as exciting as watching paint dry in someone else's house.
Seriously, you really do appreciate the naturally charismatic Leads like Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee (to name the obvious) when you get so many that can fight...but you just kind of accept them as Actors.
Thankfully, they got 'Crab Man' from My Name is Earl to liven things up at times.

The Film has a wacky premise, a wacky performance by Cage, a cool-looking villain and... a pretty so-so execution. This is just less bonkers than I was expecting.
Kind of like the alternate Title really.
A good series of Fight Scenes that don't connect to make that great of a Film. At least Cage and Jaa are good here.
