We have already teaser and trailer published this film directed by Kurando Mitsutake, which was previously noted for its Western "Samurai Avenger: Blind Wolf" (2009) and action thrash "Pistol Woman" (2014)
Here's the official synopsis of the film: the younger sister of a mysterious karate master, Kenji, goes missing in Los Angeles. And now - whoever stands in his way in search of his sister will fully experience the power of his lethal karate on his own skin.

Let's not stray far from the filmmaking of the land of the rising sun, because the first trailer for the film adaptation of the cult manga and anime has appeared online "Fullmetal Alchemist" (Fullmetal Alchemist). Recall that the comic Hiromu Arakawa “Fullmetal Alchemist” has already been filmed in the form of two animated series and one full-length animated film, as well as in the form of computer games.
The story of the film tells us about two Elric brothers living in the fictional country of Amestris, where alchemy is widespread as an exact science. Young alchemists Edward and Alphonse Elric tried to resurrect their dead mother using alchemy, but they seriously paid for interfering in the forbidden area: their older brother lost an arm and a leg, and the younger brother lost his body. Now Alphonse's soul and consciousness are attached to the ancient armor. Now the two brothers become professional alchemists in the military service of the government, secretly trying to find a way to return the body of their younger brother.
The film was directed by Fumihiko Sori, known for directing CGI films "Agent Vexill" (2007) and "Age of the Dragon: Birth of a Seeker" (2012). For Sorey, putting a comic book on film is nothing new; he has already directed several adaptations: a sports comedy "Ping pong" (2002), samurai thriller "Ichi" (2008) and boxing drama "Tomorrow Joe" (2011)
The main role of Edward Elric was played by the hero of the TV series and film dilogy “Assassination Classroom” Ryosuke Yamada. Other roles: Tsubasa Honda ("Song of the Mole 2"), Dean Fujioka ("Ninja Monster") Ryuta Sato ("Tokyo Clan") Misako Renbutsu (“Samurai and the Cat”), as well as a veteran of Japanese cinema Jun Kunimura (“Kill Bill 1-2”, Hard Boiled”, “Screen Test”).
The fantasy action film "Fullmetal Alchemist" is scheduled to premiere in Japan on December 1 2017 year.
Let's finish today's selection of trailers with a detective thriller from South Korea called "Tick Tock" (Tik Tok) by debutant director Li Zun, who, however, is not new to filmmaking. Zun worked in various roles in such South Korean hits as "The thieves" (2012) "New world" (2013) and "Operation Chromite" starring Liam Neeson and Lee Jong-jae.
Synopsis: Guo Zhida's boyfriend lost everything on sports betting and is now in a protracted manic depression.

The situation is made worse by the fact that, according to Yang Xi, there is a bomb planted in the stadium. Police inspector Kang Seung has to find out who is right and who is wrong, save the woman and defuse the bomb.

Added a full trailer for Fullmetal Alchemist.
Surprisingly, the film hooked me with the plot. And everything seems banal and predictable, but no, everything is still interesting! The actors gave their all, and Ch. the hero is convincing. My verdict is trash. It’s just a pity that GG didn’t clearly show his style, only kata in the act, stand-up and scary finger figures.
I watched Karate Killer. Treshak, but how... “We’ve seen larger dwarfs.” Those. trashy, but not crap. You won't lose anything if you don't look, but you won't lose anything if you look.
Mini review of Karate kill, let's start with the fact that this film, although trashy, is not outright hack, it is a class B action movie in the spirit of the 80s-90s, the low budget is of course noticeable, but everything was shot surprisingly decently, not a bad plot, it even looks with some interest, the actor playing the main villain portrayed a psychopath well, the fight scenes are not up to par, but there is some interesting fighting style from the main character, you believe in him, and of course this is a very cruel film, here they knock out brains, deprive of hands and eyes , uh, and a lot of other things, the only thing unnecessary in my opinion is nudity, a lot of boobs, this is an action movie and not erotica. I advise you to watch the film, there is something in it.
The main character of "The Karate Killer" moves terribly, as if he himself is afraid to hit.
Dude, this is trash. This is not even a class B action movie, but probably a C one.
Dave,
Well, what is he doing here then?
Anton Clemens, If we covered exclusively excellent projects, the site would be one-page.
barsug,
I haven’t made any complaints about other films for a long time. To hell with the plot, but at least the fights were normal. Killer karate generally breaks through the bottom, depriving its viewers of the last.
Anton ClemensTo be honest, I didn’t notice anything so completely terrible. I think it might even be possible to watch it someday.
