Martial arts bore - Jiu Jitsu review by Alphaville

Spoiler Alert
14/01/2021

For a martial arts actioner, this is an incredibly dull and dour film, with zero plot, zero characterisation and loads of talkie close-ups. The action consists of little more than a bunch of fighters practising their moves on stuntmen who attack one at a time and fall in exaggerated poses. It was filmed in Cyprus but you wouldn’t know it as no attempt is made to utilise the island’s dramatic landscapes. Thai star Tony Jaa deserves better, while Nic Cage in a minor role probably doesn’t by now. Cage’s stuntman gets more air time than Cage himself, while even Jaa, sadly, is credited with two stunt men.

Most of the blame must go to director Dimitri Logothetis, who has no idea how to film a fight scene except by hurling a hand-held camera into the stagey action. A Predator-style alien turns up as the chief baddie, but he has no more moves than any of the other stuntmen. Never has so much martial arts action been so repetitive and boring. Don’t be fooled by the trailer. 2mins of this stuff might appeal, but 100 mins is 98mins too long.

There is bad and then there is this. - Jiu Jitsu review by MM

Spoiler Alert
09/02/2021

I love martial art films, even the bad ones. The guilty pleasure of the American Ninja films and the other 80's specials are not lost on me, but this one doesn't even get the 'so bad it's good' moniker.

I have no idea why they would call it Jui Jitsu. Think I spotted one wristlock/throw that might be classified this way. The actors I've seen in other films and have been at least watchable, even if acting is not their strong point, but the story ( Preditor rehash) and script are so poor that even the mighty Tony Jaa can't remove the stink from the room.

So numb I can't write anymore. It's just terrible.

boring - Jiu Jitsu review by WW

could have been great but it was just fighting on a poor story line which could have been improved if not so much of the same as other hit it if it moves films!
