bammy_international's rating
This could actually be the worst movie I have seen, nay, endured. The only reason I can say that I watched this movie to its unforgettable( only for the worst possible reasons) was to see if this movie was going to keep topping itself in its ability to worsen itself in the face of insurmountable odds. Having seen Chyler Leigh in Not Another Teen Movie, I was interested to see her in her only other full length effort to this date. Kickboxing Academy is one of those movies that gives you hope that you could mug a kindergarten child, steal his finger painting, show it to a production company and they will give you several million dollars to waste whilst fooling Z graders into prancing around in front of a Hi-8 to the detriment of their own careers. I would say they regretted doing this instead of porn, because the transition from porn to big budget flicks would have been easier than from this. I say instead of this movie being a skeleton in the closet of all involved, it is a mob of brain eating zombies the likes of the Dawn of the Dead remake ready to burst own and gorge on the rotting flesh of their credibility. Galaxies intentionally imploded rather than giving up their stars with which to rate this movie. I resent IMDb for not having 0 points as a score option for without it my rating is a gross misrepresentation. Give me back the 80 minutes you owe me.
Having seen Larry Clark's films prior to this, those that were stirring, confronting and thought provoking, I was prepared to forgive the title of this movie and give it a chance. What a mistake, a Z grade movie of a budget too low to bring it to anything near what the initial vision would have been, a story thinner than Karen Carpenter after purging and acting that I have seen better improvs and single takes of. 80 odd minutes of my life I will never have back. And the sad thing is we have seen him get results from unknown actors, ugh! Come on Larry, I can forgive this as a one off blip, but only because I know that your best is brilliant. Get rid of the girl with the curl and please be very good again. If you want to see quality low budget shlock horror go for one of Peter Jackson's films like Bad Taste instead.
