      Chris Ward Flickering Myth Bloodstone is awkward from the start and just seems to get worse as it goes on. Aug 1, 2020 Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 This earnest action picture moves at a rocket pace, completely disinterested in how powerfully dumb it all is. Jul 21, 2020 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT The lure of seeing Indian legend Rajinikanth will lure some in. Unfortunately, they will be disappointed as they only get a taste of why he is known as Superstar. A retread of better movies that has a few decent moments, but little else. Rated: 5/10 Jul 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Shameless Romancing the Stone knockoff. It's a silly little adventure, but it's not without its fun. Rajinikanth is fun as the scoundrel in it Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Film starring Brett stimely and Rajinikanth even more indian junior artists and shooting was done mainly in South India,a film yet need a good recognition in both Hollywood and kollywood. But due to its delayed release it's expectations were too lowered.A good classic for South Indian audiences and even with good plot and cast it failed to receive good response between Americans. Overall a great movie, especially if you've ever been to Tamil India! And even if you haven't, here's your chance to see what an American action movie can be like when filmed on the other side of the world! It's an exciting, ride-of-your-life horror-action-adventure-thriller movie that just completely blows all those other Indian (or in this case, Eastern) movies out of the park into the dust. Just hearing about this movie makes me want to watch Indian films more often! "Bloodstone" is one foreign film that must not be missed, especially if you are an Indian movie buff. I liked this movie from start...to finish! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not exactly a gem. Several groups hunt for a stolen ancient gemstone all over India. Comedic attempts have a mostly tarnishing effect. Highlight is watching megastar Rajinikanth's impressive trick of flipping cigarettes into his mouth. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Nico Mastorakis production is a not too bad imitation of ROMANCING THE STONE with action and humour mixed in. The film does not take itself too seriously, and kicks in a few laughs. Seemed a bit better the second time around. You could do worse. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member i dont know that pic done by the great actor rajanikanth ............i am very proud to say the first men to act in hollywood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish I could start this review with some clever pun like "This is a forgotten gem" or this is a "diamond in the rough" however I just can't because this is no gem. It's just another run-of-the mill 80's adventure film that blends in with the thousands of others that filled the VHS selves back in the early days of video rental stores Filmed in Indiana, we have a newlywed couple traveling by train in India for their honeymoon. However on the train a thief, who has recently stolen a huge ruby known as the "Bloodstone" (no, not the same damn cracker jack stone from the Subspecies series), slips the stone into their luggage because the authorities were on his trail. This of course leads to high adventure as both the police and the thieves boss are after the coup for the stone. The best part of this film is the authentic India cinematography. If you can get your hands on the Image Entertainment DVD, the transfer is beautiful and captures the lush vegetation wonderfully. Another highlight of the film is the secondary characters which consist of a scheming taxi driver and a high nasally pitched police inspector. These guys are actually fun to watch and totally blow our two leads out of the water. This lies our problem, our newlywed couple. As the lead characters these characters were flat and uninteresting (our leading man also seems to have his voice awkwardly dubbed). Thank God we have interesting secondary characters to pick up the slack. Our head villain (played by Christopher Neame) is also flat and hardly seems threatening, despite director Dwight H. Little desperately tying to make him so. There you have it, Bloodstone, another average 80's adventure film that is only saving grace is a couple of funny and interesting secondary characters and beautiful India cinematography. The film was produced by Nico Mastarakas, an extremely overrated Greek director that thankfully left the directing talents to newcomer Dwight H. Little, a director perhaps best known for Halloween 4.
