Based on Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game”.Five elite Hunters pay to hunt a human on a deserted island. But each Hunter begins to fall as the Prey fightsback with mind-games, traps, and a determination to survive they have never witnessed before.

• Ashleymanning.com: It’s a classic story of rich people hunting humans for sport. The new spin on it is bizarre and over the top in the best way possible.
• Fictionhorizon.com: McDonough, as the twisted, blood-thirsty killer who gets his prey every time, is excellent in bringing out the cold-blooded killer.
• Theactionelite.com: Neal McDonough proving what a class act he is on screen.

Director: Mark Toia

Cast: Neal McDonough (Minority Report, The 100), Brett Tutor, Jose Rosete (The Walking Dead), Jessica Blackmore

A robotics company vying to win a lucrative military contract team up with a corrupt CIA agent to conduct an illegal live field test. They deploy four weaponised prototype robots into a suspected drug manufacturing camp in the Golden Triangle, assuming they'd be killing drug runners that no one would miss. Six doctors on a humanitarian mission witness the brutal slaughter and become prime targets.

• Bulletproofaction.com: Monsters of Man could easily attract the same kind of cult following that takes an unknown film which went direct to video or streaming and make it the type of film that has three or four sequels.
• Explosiveaction.com: This film was mental! Utterly relentless in its execution, these robots are the true modern Terminators.
• Horrordna.com: a fast, good-looking film that’s a modern Terminator amped up to eleven.
• Theactionelite.com: Totally badass and the hard R action make it worth a watch.
• Voicesfromthebalcony.com: The robots are heavily armed, but they seem to be quite happy to crush skulls, stomp on people and generally get up close and personal with their victims.

A man nicknamed "The Jesuit", is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. When his wife is murdered and his son kidnapped and taken to Mexico, he devices an elaborate and dangerous plan to rescue his son and avenge the murder.

• Blu-ray.com: There Are No Saints is fixated on ugliness, which is a Schrader specialty, and he creates a particularly hostile world.
• Eyeforfilm.co.uk: Not for the faint-heated.
• Battleroyalewithcheese.com: A vintage cast of hard men, such as Tim Roth, Ron Perlman and Neal McDonough. Overall worth a watch if you want to see men, being MEN.
• Highonfilms.com: It is the action that truly excels. The brutality of its execution and the resultant gore enhances the gritty vibe of the movie.
• Jbspins.com: Recommended for fans of payback.
• Nightsandweekends.com: With its heavy themes and sometimes gruesome violence, There Are No Saints isn’t the typical brainless action movie. But this story of a man fighting to save his son will definitely give you a lot to think about long after it’s over.
• Slantmagazine.com: A Messy, Intoxicating Shot of B-Movie Adrenaline.
