[Opens April 23 in theaters and available on HBO MAX.] Terrific choreography and nonstop action dominate Simon McQuoid's entertaining, fast-paced, violent, gory, humor-dotted, 110-minute thriller based on the videogame in which a talented MMA fighter (Lewis Tan), who has a dragon birthmark and unknowingly is the descendent of a fearsome Japanese warrior (Hiroyuki Sanada) from 1617 and tries to protect his wife (Matilda Kimber) and daughter (Laura Brent), is chosen to compete in an intergalactic tournament to save Earthrealm from an evil sorcerer (Chin Han) and his menacing warriors (Joe Taslim, Josh Lawson, Daniel Nelson, Nathan Jones, Sisi Stringer, Elissa Cadwell, and Mel Jarson) and joins forces at the temple of Lord Raiden (Tadanobu Asano) with the good guys, including a special forces major (Mehcad Brooks), a skilled fighter (Jessica McNamee), and martial art champions (Ludi Lin and Max Huang) with super powers.
