Movie Reviews of Bloodfist 5 - Human Target
Movie Review: this one's actually not a no-brainer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bloodfist series began with no-brainer tournament action, and has now evolved into an action series with a story that makes you think and pay attention to plot. Bloodfist 5 is one of the best overall b-action movies I have seen. It does not have a huge amount of martial arts action compared to movies like Bloodsport or Shootfighter, but it has a lot of suspense, pretty good acting, good charcaters, and fights that look realistic.
The best thing about Bloodfist 5 is the suspense. Don Wilson plays "Jim Stanton", a man who worked for some crimelords, but shot at the beginning of the movie and awaken in a hospital only to have his memory erased. Not knowing if worked for the crimelords or as an undercover CIA agent with them, both sides want Jim dead. Now he's on the run and can trust no one but himself. Jim continually comes in contact with both sides, but each time adds suspense and a new twist to the plot. There are plenty of fight scenes thrown in, but only keeping up with the realness of the story, so there aren't any long scenes or flashy sequences. Just real fights that get the job done.
The characters are great in this film, and their actor counterparts do a fine job. There are plenty of martial art movie faces such as Steve James (American Ninja), Ron Yuan (White Tiger, Ring of Fire), Yuji Okumoto (Karate Kid II) and I can't think of his name, but the guy that played the main villain in Shootfighter 2. Steve James is the only one who really gives Don a challenge, beatimg him with a metal pole at the end of the movie before Don finally gets some good punches and kicks in. The others guys get a good beat down over and over throughout the film.
Bloodfist 5 is a great overall movie. Again, don't compare this to hollywood blockbusters, but in the genre of tight-budget b-action flicks, this one entertains in more that just action. Not as good as bloodfist 4, but probably qualifies to be one of the best of the Bloodfist series.
