Trailer
Why watch this film?
Two big names in cinema have taken a turn in their careers and don't think twice before accepting generic action films: Nicolas Cage and John Cusack. The former has been in titles like 'Between Worlds', '211' and 'State of Emergency'. The latter, meanwhile, has been seen in films like 'Paranoia', 'Cellular' and 'The Prince'. Now, in 'Arsenal', the viewer finds a mix of all this generic action that the duo has worked on in an even more generic film. After all, director Steven C. Miller ('Assault on Power') doesn't seek innovation at any moment, nor does he try to make a reinforced rice and beans. It's just a correct action movie, with some good moments and a particularly strange Nicolas Cage. It won't excite anyone, nor will it stay in memory. But in the end, it can be a fun time for those who want action to pass the time.

Line of Duty
The filmmaker Steven C. Miller has been delving, in recent years, into an action cinema summed up in shooting, bombing and brawling. This was the case with 'Assault on Power' starring Bruce Willis, and it is repeated now with 'Line of Duty'. Starring Aaron Eckhart (‘Thank You for Smoking’) and Giancarlo Esposito (‘The Suspects’), the feature film uses a thread of story to bring intense action scenes, full of chase, fights and running. This is how the movie should become a satisfactory entertainment for specific audiences, who don't want action stories full of intricate plots or the like. 'Line of Duty' is a movie that goes straight to the point, without any fuss and not even paying attention to plot holes. It wants to excite with its action. And, with that, it should entertain the audience.
Marauders
This is a technically well-executed crime thriller for the delight of genre fans. The script of 'Marauders' doesn't take risks, as its conspiracy plot with social criticism nuances manages to be both as conventional and unnecessarily tangled at the same time, besides being inhabited by almost insipid archetypal characters. They are saved from that thanks to the actors playing them, such as Christopher Meloni ('Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'), who works perfectly in the role of a federal agent. For the delight of action movie fans, old and new, there is also the presence of Bruce Willis ('Die Hard') and Dave Bautista ('Guardians of the Galaxy').
First Kill
With a low budget, Steven C. Miller (“The Master Plan” and “Suicide Rescue”) managed to deliver a movie for genre fans – an original and insightful thriller. A father-son journey in the woods turns into a frantic hunt when the child is kidnapped. Starring Hayden Christensen and Bruce Willis.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One - A fast-paced action, mystery and thriller film that follows a young woman with impressive telekinetic powers, desperately fighting for her life while unraveling the mysteries of her past, pursued by unscrupulous killers. With Blue Dragon Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Seo Eun-su) and Best New Actress (Cynthia), this film captures the protagonist's intense battle to find answers and justice, facing not only her persecutors, but also to his own inner demons.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
