If you look at the DVD you might be interested to rent or buy it... Don't make that mistake. When I was looking at the DVD on the video club, story was looking promising, Dominic Monaghan, Karate, Science-fiction,cute actress, everything that could make a movie fun to watch. But it doesn't, not even near fun to watch. -Dominic Mohaghan have the 4th role in this movie but they tried to sell that movie in Canada with him on the DVD. -Combat scenes are bad, too many slow motion -No sex, no gore, no real sci-fi except 2-3 scenes at the beginning. Basically NO REASON to rent/buy/copy this DVD. I don't even know why Dominic Monaghan accepted to be in this movie...

I don't normally DO action or martial arts films. I'm a girly girl. But every so often you have to relent and let the boyfriend watch something HE wants.The Purifiers was it. He followed the production of this in magazines in the UK like Impact and Combat along with another UK action feature. We had a double bill of this and Richard Jobson's 'Purifiers'.Comparing the two is like chalk and cheese (although they both share similar actors and stunt men and where made around the same time). One is interesting. Enjoyable. Fun. And exciting. The other is The Purifiers.If you have the choice of watching one or the other Left For Dead is the one to go with.This film is just dull, pointless and badly acted toss. Alexander should be shot for crimes against acting. Oh well could be worse... at least I had the momory of Left For Dead to erase this!

To tell ya the truth, I watched this movie because someone told me it was a great movie. I also thought "well, if that guy from Lord Of The Rings is in it, it must be great, because I loved Lord of the Rings". Well, turns out, you shouldn't trust the movie to be great just because there's a great actor in it. First of all, it was really boring like other comments have said. I had a problem keeping interested with it. And Dominic Monaghan's role in the movie just didn't look good on him. He's not meant to play those kinds of roles... sorry. He should stick to the same kind of character he plays in Lost. This is certainly a movie you'll want to rent before buying if you really want to see it... and frankly, I'm really glad I did so, because this is a movie I don't want to watch several times. This is just my opinion. Others might find that they like this sort of movie. Don't get me wrong, there are some parts in it worthwatching... and the ending is one of them.

The plot isn't without a few holes, and the acting was so-so in some scenes, but it's still a fun film. The fights are some of the best i've seen as far as real martial arts go. They are stylized enough to show off the fighters' talent, but are also simple enough to be performed on the streets. The scene with the nunchaku was one of the coolest things i've ever seen.The sets, and cinematography are incredible, the lighting is awesome. It doesn't look like a low budget film.Well put together little film, only problem I have with it is the plot is a lot like the screenplay I am currently writing.
