The Tournament is a stupid movie.There is a basic idea- ripped off from movies like mean guns and battle royale- but nothing is ever done with it.
The idea that 30 assassins would fight to the death is stupid..why enter a contest with such low odds of survival? although most of them are so stupid they would never last in their job anyway. The characters are all pretty dull..its sad to see Ving Rhames and Robert Carlyle slumming it in cheap rubbish like this, and if Kelly Hu were just required to shoot people and pout she would be OK but she has been lumbered with some cheesy redemption subplot which is beyond her.
There is a lot of criticism of Lian Cunningham here..its not his fault he was saddled with some woeful dialogue and clunky exposition.
The only memorable character is Sebastien Foucan's..and that is only because he does parkour.
There are a few people on here- doubtless with some motive of their own- who keep posting that the movie is amazing, should be in cinemas etc. It shouldn't. It's not up to scratch and is just a brainless shoot em up..on the same level as Seagal's latest cheapo offerings.
