Customer Reviews

a martial arts prison movie that is actually decent
Overall, this sequal to the first Circuit movie falls a bit short to its predacessor, but for what it is - a prison fight movie - Circuit 2 is better than expected.

The main reason I dislike prison fight movies are the limits and confinements of a prison for the movie, with little exciting scenery. Most of the Circuit 2 takes place in a typical prison, with plenty of fights set up by the warden for its inmates, but eventually there is a tournement that expands later in the movie to a beach at night. I love this tournament, mainly because you can hear and see the ocean waves crashing in the background while some decent fights are going on, in front of a small audience. Just when you think the film has reached its final fight, more action continues and at dawn, the Olivier Gruner character and main villain fighter duel out in the ocean water for a few minutes. Its a pretty cool fight too.

Overall, Circuit 2 is not as exciting as the first in terms of story and development. There are more fights that the first, though, and Circuit 2 still delivers above average quailty for a B-grade movie.

the circuit II
It had a lot action in it and I really enjoyed watching a good martial arts movie thank you.

WHO EDITED THIS MOVIE?
As a fellow reviewer lamented, this is one bad movie. Olivier Gruner is passionless and boring. Gary Hudson as the bad prison guard is offed by a prisoner (I think)--editing problem # 1 out of several. Gail Harris as the girlfriend is in a coma, then someone tries to kill her, she's okay and next thing you know, she's dead??? Where did that come in?
Pointless, trite, definitely not worthy to inspire another sequel. Yuck!
