  Review by AfterMovieDiner ★★★½

  This movie has an opening 15 minute sequence that is better than most entire movies (in terms of death defying stunts and action) and then enters sort of Rambo 4 territory but with some athletic and football humour sprinkled amongst the surprising amount of dead bodies. It lacks a really charismatic or overly impressive martial arts proficient lead actor but it is more than made up for by the just high level of lunatic stunts, explosions and gunfire.

  Review by Joe ★★★★½

  Some of the best stuntwork I've ever seen in a movie, plus a little of that "long take" action choreography that seems to be a fixture of Thai action movies. There are a few touches I didn't like, like the weird patriotic angle, an unnecessary plotline involving a nuclear missile (!), and multiple bad guys getting taken out with soccer balls, but overall a really fun, good movie.

  Review by BROberts ★★★½

  This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  This is a brilliant film. Not quite a great martial arts film, but delivers some excellent stunt work... by that I mean, I'm sure some dude is run over by a truck (for realz) in this film and they kept the footage in just so that his mother would know he went out like a champion.
  The basic story (as I remember it) has a bunch of young athletes, from all sorts of disciplines, adapting their skills to fend off an attack at a rural village they are visiting. Sucks to be the bad guys when a gymnast uses conveniently placed bamboo to swing around (ala High Bars) and kick some ass.
