Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Y. T. Parazi's unmysterious screenplay drops cheesily clever one-liners on the way to a finish that suggests a bid for sequels, though you're more likely to find those on late-night cable than in theaters.
Rotten: Beyond isolated moments of dickish charm - and his climactic four-way fight involving a sword, a crucifix, and two steel pipes - Chapman just comes across like another pseudo-heroic American behaving badly abroad.
Fresh: It's a straightforward vengeance tale with no other ambition than to entertain. That said, it has something.
Customer Reviews
Great Action Flick!
Falcon Rising, the first entry in a possible franchise delivered just what one would expect from a movie starring Michael Jai White and co-starring Lateef Crowder. The movie was almost a throwback to our beloved action flicks of the 80's & 90's. John "Falcon" Chapman a war vet w/ PTSD travels to Brazil after his sister is brutally attacked to investigate. The fight scenes are fast and brutal. Jai White gets to really showcase his skills in the final act. Watch it today!
