The Tournament

This action movie had some recognizable names and the plot was not too bad. However, the movie was completely predictable and the priest character was a little silly for my taste. The movie was too long and the execution was not good.

Again, the netflix community gave this glowing reviews and the trailer was done extremely well. This is again where the trailer is just so much better than the movie itself. You will feel cheated if you go in with high expectations because the movie doesn't deliver what you see in the trailer.

In the first 10 minutes you will know if you like this movie or not. I watched it all the way till the end. I wish I didn't though. I guess you have to watch a lot of bad movies to really appreciate the good ones.






Netflix Summary:

Every seven years, the world's deadliest hired guns converge on a random town to compete in the Tournament. The rules are simple: The last contestant standing receives $10 million and the title of the world's greatest assassin. Meanwhile, the competition is recorded on closed-circuit cameras and broadcast live to a secret room, where billionaires bet on the results. Ian Somerhalder, Kelly Hu and Robert Carlyle star in this killer thriller.
