The credits were beautiful, the first fight choreography was bad-ass, the goddess really is a goddess, and the story's a mythical wonderous and exciting one, but the special effects... they maybe rely a bit too much on those occasionally huh? They look unrealistic. Awesome or no.

Sean Bean and Famke Janssen play a wonderful couple too - and not as vengeful a one as you may have initially assumed. In the end it almost seems like the kindness switches around. All those kids were a bit of a lose end though weren't they... though Mackenyu and Madison Iseman make a great duo too.

Lovely movie - the red-haired knight's awesome too - and the island - but after initiations (which really had me ready to give this a full-on five) it... kinda does let you down a bit. With surplus CGI and... simplicity. And a bit much repetition on the proving-himself and failing point, with the main guy. A few times too many...

Mylock's awesome too. Dacascos hell yeah.

AKA The Devil...

Cyberdevil... Aalasteir... take a seat! Grab a chair! Take a peek! Into my lair!

It's the devil yeah I come in running!
Looking stunning! Shining like the sun's abundance!
I look thirty-five but I'm really like five hundred! Thousand!
Since the eve of Eve, I've been shunning all peace...

I'm not shutting things down, these streets never sleep,
Beasts on the prowl, not just on Halloween's Eve,
I'm a seasoned vet, yeah I've seen some scenes,
You can't scare me with a bunch of mummies, you bunch of dummies...

I'm from another world where the love once plummeted!
Down to the bottom and nobody picked it up!
Now I ride with my grim reapers in a beat-up truck,
And howl at my legions of demons to rip it up!

Clad in a suit, impeccable shoes and tie!
If you look and see shoeshine, don't peel your eyes!
If you're in an office building in an elevator up!
And see a slender man in tailored due and cuffs!

You know you've come to the pit of control,
You're selling your soul, rebellion no more,
You'll be spelling out woe on your forehead,
This blasphemous moon in orbit, yeah...

Someday we'll rain blood down on your kin...
Going about their days like they're important...

...

Dormant beings on the edge of their seat!
Look at the government and media telling them what to eat!
Deciet has never been so easy! Just feed 'em the meat!
Burgers and fries! Till they stop being concerned with their life!

It's never been a secret that what people say!
Doesn't neccesarily have to be okay!
Everybody seems to believe since we're up so high!
We're better! We can't cheat, steal or lie! Haha...

The wars keep on brewing! Chemicals and pollution!
Media's the dealer! Everyone's always using!
But nobody steps up and saves the world!
They donate! Then they stay in church!

And go on with their lives and their lies,
They get bubbly inside, fall in love get a child,
Buy a house, get a car, take a plane, tame the skies,
And my time... has only started...

We're closing in on heaven - we're scraping the skies!
Getting ready to leave the world when it's vacant of life!
You can't ever get this high with a forklift!
But maybe you'll try? To save your kids...

...

Moonlight's playing on my frame!
Advocate's every day play my game!
I'm not in this for the money I'm not in this for the fame!
I just love to play, I love the pain...

This one night you try to take my swagger
I've a thousand lifetimes of snakes and ladders
Hiding behind curtains, holding people's daggers,
Thriving on your hurting, certain there's no candor,

I'm the host of the party I'm the man of the manor!
I'm the conquistador! The Spaniard with the lanyard and the bible!
Cause my call is to deceive and pry! So pray all you want to your meager sky!
I'm a charmer! A harmer! I'm anti-light!

And I'm the man that'll meet you in the afterlife!

This is... my night... yeaaah...

Take a seat! Grab a chair! Take a peek! Into my lair!

I'm always watching. I'm always... here...

When the matriarch of a family of assassins falls ill, her three children and younger boyfriend fight among themselves to take over her empire.

I expected a B-movie here but... well I got one. It was.

It wasn't entirely bad though. I like the main characters, and the dynamics between them. Zane really does look insane, Cain really does feel unpredictable, the mom really does feel like a boss, and the sibling dynamics otherwise are on point. The family being basically their own little crime syndicate is pretty cool too, and from the very beginning you feel like they know what they're doing, too. Like the focus won't be on their operation getting shot up and stopped, but more so on internal and all the more complex a conflict. All those drugs, though...

The relations and intrigue are what keep me hooked for the duration of the movie, but the action sequences really are garbage. Especially the final showdown. The warehouse scene was alright, but that final fight... oh man.

They got a good cast though, fortunately, and the internal feud carries the movie. Just wish it was more than that. When it's over I almost feel ashamed that I watched it all the way through, quality of it all considering.

Wonder what happened to Roddy too....

 rated 2.5/5: almost not bad

AKA The Revolution, For The Revolution, Just Another Revolution, I'm In, Another Boom...

0:02

Boom! These are too good, for a rap mayhaps... but I'm in a mood... let's go... let's make this huge... Cyberdevil, James Heart, yeaaah...

0:18

The revolution's coming!
I can see the future riding in!
A bright wave on a misty morning!
In the distance unusual drumming!

The sky filling up with lightning bolts!
Striking people with a thousand volts!
Jolting them up from their slumber!
Been a slumber party too long! We're all sunburnt!

Eyes gouged out by cruel intentions!
Our brains fried out by new inventions!
No intervention's coming! Go fix your plumbing!
Take control or you'll miss the summit!

Where true folks gather around with new hope!
Standing on a mountain top in blue smoke!
Lightning striking us down like 'move over'!
How much can we handle of this? Who knows!

0:49

But we won't ever budge...
Only cronies can judge us...
Yet we're so out of touch...
We're killing our loved ones...

Like we don't need to live...
Or to see what we've built...
There's a sword deep inside us...
How do we handle our guilt...

1:05

And how to put a hand on our hilts and give way!
For the blade deep in our soul and live great!
Why do you feel you're dead but still ain't?
How to get out of your head and still shape?

The world with all the mental acuity only you
Imbue in me - I'm going for unity it is true,
Painstakingly - you NEVER walk with ease on a
Mountain! You're proving unruly and undue

But that's truance! That is the nuance you need to have!
To be who you need to be! Grab what you need to grab!
Take a foothold or a stab! The world is like a scab!
We keep poking at it, but it's only out of habit...

We can leave it to itself, we can hide here on a shelf,
Let it work it's own magic...

1:37

The revolution's coming!
I can see the future riding in!
A bright wave on a misty morning!
In the distance unusual drumming!

The sky filling up with lightning bolts!
Striking people with a thousand volts!
Jolting them up from their slumber!
Been a slumber party too long! We're all sunburnt!

But we won't ever budge...
Only cronies can judge us...
Yet we're so out of touch...
We're killing our loved ones...

Like we don't need to live...
Or to see what we've built...
There's a sword deep inside us...
How do we deal with our guilt...

And all the good that we've sold!
All the crops of our harvest!
All our purity - our hearts and souls
Are the seeds that we sow and then farm with!

And we feed it so willingly!
This machine of this evil instilled in
Our world, a machine that turns all our dreams...
Our being, our meaning is wilting!

But we will never budge an inch - we stand tall!
The tougher the climb the tougher the mind - that's all!

We're running from time! We're binding our souls!
To ugliness I! Wish I didn't know!
In search for ulterior motives and meanings!
We're molding ourselves into demons!

Ugly abominations but we're pilgrims!
We can turn our bodies! You can't kill them!
You can't break this bridge that we're building!
And we'll break away from your ceilings!

WE are the children of the revolution!
WE ride the wave! WE clear disillusion!
WE tell the truth! WE are the future!
WE are the teacher! WE are the tutor!

We're no superheroes but we've nerve!
To claim we're the carers for the Earth!
Whatever careers here we need to merge!
So we can breath this air without hurt!

I've heard enough, I know enough, I can't put it all...
Into words

But I'm trying, this is a first...

I'm in.
