A hugely satisfying 'odd couple' action movie. It's well acted and Lundgren does a laudable job as director. A surprise gem. Adkins is fast becoming one of my favourite action movie stars. Not only are his martial arts talents a treat to behold but he's backing it up with some very good acting these days. I'll also be eagerly watching out for more movies directed by big Dolph. Enjoyed this a lot. Recommended.

In someone else's hands this might have been a better film. The inexperience of the director was obvious, mainly in the form of poor editing cuts, an overemphasis on fight scenes in which everyone had exactly the same boxing style and strange dialog choices. Still enjoyable and it passed the time adequately, but I'm not sure it deserved the pass it got from the critics.

Dolph Lundgren should just stick to acting, because his directing was terrible. Many scenes were too long, bad angles, with lots of amateur mistakes. For example, how did Lundgren's eyeglasses stay on everytime he got punched in the face lol? Even the scene cuts were bad and were missing the pro elements an experienced director would know. He also didn't direct his cast properly, as some actors seemed lost, while others where just too overbearing. The fight scenes were too long and poorly choreographed for the most part, although the action was good. The 90 min runtime felt much longer with the slow pacing, and there was just too much filler and very little substance. The entire cat and mouse chases were dragged out and boring - up some stairs, down some stairs, in a room, out of a room... repeat. However the premise of the story by novice writer Andrew Knauer was actually very creative and enjoyable. I just wish it had more substance, and it needed some plot-issues tuning. The casting and acting were decent (albeit lacking direction), and Lundgren's acting was spot on. But the star here was Scott Adkins, who pretty much carried the entire film. The score wasn't bad for a B film, and the cinematography was good. Had this film been directed by a seasoned filmmaker, it would've been a hit. If you're a fan of Lundgren and/or Adkins, you'll enjoy this one. It's a 6/10 from me.

Castle Falls (Rental) is a grappling film (MMA fighting style) with Scott Adkins and Dolph Lundgren (who also directed it). The plot involves money in a hospital set for demolition with three different sides making a play for it. The fights come across more realistic but less flashy than most fist fight films (which is more a matter of taste. Where it missteps: the "bad guys" are underdeveloped (they are supposed to be some sort of white power group, maybe?) and are pretty underwhelming plus the film looks like nobody paid for post-processing so it comes across ultra-cheap looking. Which is a bit of shame as the cast mostly works, Lundgren's direction is fine, and the basic idea (with more money) could have been a much better film. As it is, it works as a disposable experience if you are fans of either of the stars 2 stars out of 5. (If you love MMA add a star ...)

Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins make a fine odd couple in this meatily satisfying action film - once it gets moving.

A film with a killer concept, which despite getting tripped up by exposition, delivers thrills and decent action.

The Last Thing I See

Outside of diehard action stans, the appeal is probably limited. But let's be honest, those are the people lining up to see a Scott Adkins/Dolph Lundgren movie.

Rated: C+

Sporting skilled choreographed action sequences, Castle Falls offers a mildly satisfying viewing experience despite a weak and muddled storyline.

Castle Falls isn't as splashy or intense as other recent DTV gems ... but it's still perfectly solid work from everyone involved.
