L'Arène

Actually, I have to make a big effort to give it at least two stars for the flawless technical aspect. Raze is nothing but a shallow spectacle and its contents, and the very purpose of its existence, can be described as “women fighting in tank-tops”. Because why? Because we fucking want it, that’s why. Those who enjoy this – well. For me, it devalues horror movies. (19/01/2014)

Awesome flick! Very dark and brutally violent! Raze has a very simple plot: women who are athletic or have fighting skills are kidnapped and forced to fight to the death for the entertainment of the rich. Every fight is intense! Every touch, grab, punch and crunch of bones could be heard all the way to the neighbor's apartment and I enjoyed it and swore as much as I could! The final carnage just made the whole movie come alive. Perfect fun and a ride like a motherfucker from start to finish! (13/01/2014)

Calling a film sexist and focusing only on the heroines' breasts is a bit short-sighted, and I think this is a film that deserves attention. Women are thrown into cruel situations where they must decide either to survive or to die. I like similar plots, and this one works well for me. Yes, in terms of the story, it's ultimately simpler, but it beautifully shows what monsters people can actually be. And I'm not referring at all to women fighting each other to the bitter end.
