I don't think a lot of people know about this movie.
It's got a good cast, and while the story could be very simple and cliche, the action looks freaking hardcore.
Honestly, I think it's going to be a super fun action movie.
Sleeper hit? Maybe...

Kelly Hu :-)heart:), Ving Rhames, Robert Carlyle and some other people are in it.

Plus Scott Adkins (Undisputed 2) and Sebastien Foucan (Casino Royale's Mollaka) are in the movie, so we're gonna get some sweet fighting sequences.

What do you all think?

Plot: Every ten years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 40 of the world’s deadliest assassins. The last man standing receiving the $10,000,000 cash prize and the title of Worlds No1, which itself carries the legendary million dollar a bullet price tag. All fights are monitored 24hrs a day on redirected cameras and broadcast secretly to a ring of high stake billionaire gamblers. A gritty, multistranded action-thriller, The Tournament brings together international killers from every imaginable discipline in a blood-bathed contest to the death. We follow the competition favourites through stories of love, betrayal, revenge and redemption as they finally discover the true value of life.

:applaud Nice find Blas. Looks like the director has been watching his John Woo. I'll definitely check it out for the action and cast, unusual choice for Robert Carlyle.
 
Known about this for a little while. No word yet on a U.S release that I know of, or who even has U.S theater/dvd rights to it.

Does look good though.
 
This looks awesome, when is it released?
