CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

LorienTheFirstOne I watched this because i am a fan of martial arts, films, and thus martial arts film choreography.The Good : martial scenes are energetic, fast, well executed, with an occasional variation of a move we have seen before.The Bad : The acting is really bad. At first i don't mind because i thought these were just ordinary stunt men and not actors, so it was interesting to see how they react if they get entangled in a situation like the one they are in. But then you can't bear with it for long. It is really bad acting. And afterwards i realized the film premise is that they ARE actors in the film. So it's even worse.Another bad thing is some dialogue which is super cliché.Also, the choreography is also copy-paste from other films and actors like Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, etc, who did all this decades ago. No originality. Pity.You can fast forward to check the fight scenes, and even then you will not be impressed if you have watched good martial arts films in the past.

davidjjey This film was disappointing, with a capital D. I grew up doing and watching martial arts, and I can ignore a dodgy plot if the fighting is good enough - sadly it wasn't in this effort, and the plot is totally ridiculous as well. I only made it through the whole thing because I had some other (intentional) distractions going on at the same time (especially needed when there was no fighting). Yes, the plot and acting were that bad. So for the short review, that's it - don't waste your time.In more detail - for choreography, "The Raid 2" does the same sort of thing as this film (multiple opponents, creative techniques) but looks a lot more convincing. No doubt there's real skill to making a hit look real, and the makers of Die Fighting need to work on that. A related problem is that, too often they portrayed weak or fancy techniques as being effective, and at the same time, I don't think there wasn't anything there I hadn't seen before.As for the story - urghh, the plot hinges on ever-present video cameras which I find ridiculous (because the characters actually move around quite a bit), then there's the whole motivation for them...*sigh*. As for a plot mechanic, look, it basically rips off Saw, and it uses a little found footage on top of that, so....yeah. A poorly filmed, poorly choreographed martial arts version of Saw. Evidently the guys who made this were just as desperate as the main character in the movie itself.

jjndaylyng The trailer looked promising and the movie definitely delivered. The plot is really good for a martial arms film. It was suspenseful and kept me guessing until the end. I became emotionally invested in what was going which is always a sign of good film making. Without spoiling anything, the ending wasn't what I wanted. Overall the movie is really well made. Occasionally near the beginning, a little of the dialogs is difficult to hear but this is a minor problem.The acting is decent. The lead actors are martial artists first and foremost so its unreasonable to expect A list actor quality performances. The actors conveyed the emotions needed without seeming cheesy, awkward or weird. For a martial arts film the acting was pretty good. The martial arts in the movie are very impressive. There are numerous fight scenes and they are all well choreographed and executed. Slow mo is sparsely used, there's no wires and no CGI to replace the genuine action. In summary, very good fight scenes and highly recommended for action fans. Definitely looking forward to what Z Team Films produces in the future.

vaelyn-2 I wouldn't get near giving this a 10 .. but i also wouldn't call it the worst Martial Arts movie that i have ever seen (and I've seen a bunch). Since the main listed actor did the directing etc too, I'm guessing this was a project of passion, but the dude sure has a mean kick.Low budget obviously, and a pretty weak plot and average acting, but still worth a watch for the fight Choreography. I didn't think that i would make it thru the whole movie but i did .Filmed with multiple cameras, most simulating some kind of CCTV cameras which is an interesting choice.. seems to work with the plot.So yeah .. worth at least one watch, but don't look for many Oscars in its future.EDIT: When i wrote this i wasn't quite finished with the movie.. now that i am .. the ending actually caught me off guard.. it was very well done.
