#FALCON RISING MOVIE#

Lateef shows off just enough skill to get the audience excited early in the film and gives off that ‘bad guy’ smell in the slightest fashion.

#FALCON RISING MOVIE#

What the fuck is up movie industry?īack on track. Hell, Lateef Crowder deserves his own movie franchise – there I said it. This guy is very recognisable and hardly ever appears and a bland fight scene. He’s had fight scenes with Tony Jaa, Scott Adkins,and Jon Foo. If you’re not familiar, Lateef is the King of Capoeira in film these days. The first hint I got that things were going to get vicious – the appearance of Lateef Crowder. We see Michael Jai White’s attitude become more and more present in Falcon and his movements become more and more animated as he gets closer to the finding his enemies and you can’t help but feel excited for things to come. They instead go for the build up, showing smaller action scenes as things unravel and tensions escalate. The don’t just throw random fights into the mix to keep the action junkies happy. It runs on a pretty typical action setup, with the ‘ main character going after those who hurt his family‘ scenario but it’s played out in a very balanced way. This movie feels a lot more natural than you’d think considering the script. The unfolding, the script and general approach of the film is very ‘B Grade style’ but is delivered in an ‘A Grade’ manner. Go Falcon! This movie definitely belongs in Michael Jai White’s ‘Top Hits’ List! Naturally he finds out his enemy is rather powerful and dangerous – so naturally things start blowing up and we see bullets fly, kicks thrown and lots of wrists and arms broken. But Cindy winds up almost dead form an attack and Falcon heads over to see what happened.Īfter the obvious conclusion that she was the victim of attempted murder, Falcon starts asking questions and working with the police (and eventually on his own) to find the killer. They catch up, poke a bit of fun at each other over their lives and show a certain level of sibling appreciation before Cindy heads back to Brazil to pursue her passion of helping people. Obviously unhappy, Falcon’s sister Cindy arrives home from overseas and the two conveniently explain their past and current situation through an argument (ahh the art of filmmaking!). But his ordinary ‘people name’ is John Chapman.įalcon is suffering from some kind of post traumatic stress and seems to love hanging around sleeping on his sister’s couch playing a form of Russian roulette to pass his time. Michael Jai White is a guy nicknamed ‘Falcon’, it’s his old codename from a vaguely touched on military career from years before the events of this film.
