Review: Mark Dacascos Action Thriller ULTIMATE JUSTICE Does Little Of It

Actor Mark Dacascos’s seldom stake nowadays in action films is something that I begrudgingly continue to deal with, and I know for a fact that I am no island when it comes to this. While surely keeping himself diverse and flexible between projects, it’s no secret that the man who won our hearts over the years in films like Only The Strong, Drive, Boogie Boy, China Strike Force and Cradle To The Grave should have at least been in an Expendables film by now. As such, to see the actor take the reigns in a film like Ultimate Justice does have its rewarding moments and is something to appreciate, although you’ll be hard pressed to go unchallenged for longer than the first act. Hailing as the second feature film from Silent Partners – the people who brought you One Million K(l)icks, Martin Christopher Bode makes his directorial feature debut with […]

Review: ULTIMATE JUSTICE (2017) – From the Team That Brought You ‘One Million K(l)icks’ Comes…Another Movie.

To be a fan of Mark Dacascos is to be well acquainted with frustration and disappointment. There’s no doubt that he’s one of the most gifted action stars of his age, but he’s often underutilized or downright miscast in the majority of his filmography. For every Drive, there are five China Strike Forces; for every Brotherhood of the Wolf, there are ten Cradle 2 the Graves. Dacascos was given a chance to be the “next big action star” in the 90s with Only the Strong, but due to some bad career advice (cough, Double Dragon, cough) he missed out on his big break. With every new Dacascos action vehicle, fans are filled with an increasingly faint glimmer of hope that we’ll see him be utilized to his full potential… But more often than not, we walk away disappointed. This is a lamentation that is shared by, of all people, Mark […]

Cannes 2015: Watch The New Trailer For Mike Moeller Starrer, ONE MILLION K(L)ICKS!

Lee B. Golden III

Alexander Padrutt‘s directorial debut, One Million K(L)icks, is certainly one with a setup seen before in previous films, but still presents another delightful experiment in genuine martial arts and drama filmmaking with an actor capable of presenting the gravitas on both ends. Lead actor and action star Mike Moeller is no stranger to this as be continues his rise in the genre with his latest role as talented fighter forced to come to grips with the underground fighting circuit and the crooks running it, as well as his own personal demons. The film is the launchpad of producers Rudieger W. Kuemmerle and Mike Leeder over at Silent Partners Deutschland and has already had an audience in Europe, specifically in Germany, although the film is now making waves at Cannes this month where UK-based Evolutionary Films will be representing international sales for the film. As such, the company is likely setting […]
