Featured review
The forced-to-fight genre, everything from THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME to THE RUNNING MAN to BATTLE ROYALE, it's a story that's been told hundreds of times. In RAZE, 50 women have been abducted by rich folks and forced to fight in brutal 1-on-1 matches to the death (in a white tank top and grey sweatpants). The main thing of note here is the casting of Zoë Bell in the lead, best known as Uma Thurman's stunt double in the KILL BILL films and later on-screen roles in Tarantino's DEATH PROOF and THE HATEFUL EIGHT. One fun surprise is reuniting Bell with DEATH PROOF co-star Rosario Dawson, who has a small role as one of the abducted women. You also get Doug Jones (HELLBOY, THE SHAPE OF WATER) and Sherilyn Fenn (TWIN PEAKS, OF MICE AND MEN) as the villainous rich folks organizing the fights and abductions. It's a pretty routine action film of this sort, but it does offer some solid action sequences and was well crafted given its limited budget. My recommendation would be to watch Rob Zombie's under appreciated forced-to-fight film, 31 (sure it's a retread of stuff he's already done, but much like his music, it's a pretty good song he keeps doing over and over again).
