Viewing Notes

So The Tournament is a film that should’ve been released a while ago but is another unfortunate victim from the Weinstein Company considering the budget to produce this action thriller. The premise is stale (30 assassins assembled to kill each other off until only one remains) but there is some good drama here and yet another “kill montage” as well as a good b-list of actors: Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu, Robert Carlyle and others. Yes, it’s big on silly but very watchable.
