Critic Reviews

  • Michael A. Smith, Nolan's Pop Culture Review

    I LOVE this movie. Bad sequels take away from the original.

    Surprisingly not-awful cable-flick action-fest!

  • Dean !


    A half decent martial arts flick as a USA team take on a well trained Korean team. A bit slow to get going but the fights are pretty good towards the end. A kinda grown up karate kid.

  • Wahida K


    A team is not a team if you don't give a damn about each other.

  • Dean M


    Amazing karate competition of an underdog U.S. national karate team battles for the world title in this martial arts <i>Rocky</i>.

  • Jason S


    I think this one was cool. This was an intro to the characters. They would later be thrown into action adventures as the series went on.
