Rough, brutal, uncompromising. Superb choreography, hand held camera work, no music. Excellent use of improvised weapons: blunt, edged, flexible, projectile. Kicks, punches, knees, elbows, standing grappling, limb destructions, trapping (yes, trapping). Finally, a quiet and sombre end as opposed to kick ass with a smile. I think it is superb.

I would be really interested to know people's thoughts, and also to hear views on their favourite movie fight scene. Any vids are welcome.
Bring it on....

Very nice to watch, more realistic than alot of other fight scenes i guess but some stuff in there i just wouldnt use personally because i dont beleive it works ( note the unrealistically long pauses to allow technique to be executed), you can work out what those things are  but very nicely choreographed.
i enjoy the fight scenes in the tony jaa films but are miles away from being realistic.
