Verdict on Bloodstorm
Recap
The movie follows a mercenary teaming up with a female police officer when a prison transfer goes wrong. They must overcome the odds to survive the attacks if they are ever going to see society again.
Best Parts
The concept of a prisoner and a police officer working together to survive a dangerous group of prisoners is interesting and entertaining. It delivers on overcoming the odd concept and has fun fight sequences.
Worst Parts
We have a lot of over use of slow motion, usually when one of the female characters is dealing with a prisoner. It also struggles to do more than a struggle fight despite showing Officer Hansen as stronger and portrayed as tougher. The movie also pushes towards the need to show prisoners only interested in sexual assault, which will be difficult for a lot of people to watch.
Final Thoughts –Bloodstorm is a good late-night action movie.
