"The Punisher" is good, but not enough.
“Maya” - of course, I can’t believe that this chick can throw three men around like that, but she looks fine. The fact that it is so short is a plus.
“The Ninth Life” is a brave comicsoid. A rival with hammers, a rival with a chainsaw, and so on... In short, in the best traditions of Deadpool and company, only ten minutes for a very low budget. I just didn't understand the ending.
“Defender” was filmed in the style of some “Vikings”, it was shot stylishly and beautifully, but there is absolutely no fencing there.
“G” is a naive fantasy and a good, but absolutely not outstanding combat game.
