Review of Bloodmoon

Bloodmoon (1997)
8/10
Some of the finest action outside of Asia
18 January 2021
I whole heartedly admit to being a fan of Gary Daniels films, almost never are they going to be known as artistic accomplishments, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find better action on a budget.

In particular, Bloodmoon actually has some mostly decent character development and a decent enough story. These are nice additions though to the amazing fight scenes throughout this film.

The sadly passed on Darren Shahlavi puts on a spectacular performance and is very convincing as the mysterious killer, and displays superb acumen with his fight scenes. His kicks are some of the best I've seen in any movie. And despite this being a relatively b-grade style action film, there's bizarrely a surprising depth to Darren's character that becomes apparent throughout the film.

Gary Daniels as always is amazing to watch in the action scenes, and the choreography in this fully utilizes his incredible skill and athleticism. In addition to the martial arts on display, Gary Daniels also plays pretty well in this role as a reluctant expert consultant dragged once again into the world of serial killers.

It's not going to make you rethink your views of the world, but it still is a far more entertaining film than many recent Hollywood action films.
