it's true, I will write a review on IMDb".It's true. See the article "Japanese Brazilian" on Wikipedia. Such attention to accuracy reflects well on the film to me."Falcon Rising" is an excellent action film. Definitely better than "Non-Stop" 7.0/10 , "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" 6.2/10 , and "Taken 3" 6.0/10 .

thumbs up and i personally would rate it 7.0 instead of 5.7.

sides of Brazil...every country has them!!! Enjoy :-

long-awaited sequel to Blood and Bone. It is a slow-starter but frankly to see White in an action scene is well worth the wait. And the benefit of a slow start is that it builds. Not a lot of films today can claim that.I will close this review with a challenge to anyone in Hollywood with ears to hear and eyes to see. White seems in peak condition but history tells us that he probably has only so many of these films in him before he goes the way of Seagal and starts wearing designer clothes based on tents. Somebody should notice this guy and let him start making the films he was meant to make.

against the bad guys, boss, etc. In all I was highly entertained and I recommend the movie.

to keep you entertained. They even threw in a little sword fighting. They covered just about everything.For everyone giving this a low rating, you must have hated Rambo, grew up in a different time or just don't like good action flicks. If you don't like the good old action flicks, then please don't rate them.

de Janeiro, where most of the plot happens. His sister is a cop and she gets brutally attacked. Our hero discovers it and he goes to Brazil to investigate.During the first half of the movie, there were only 2 fight scenes one in the first five minutes and the other about halfway . The second half gets better and it focus more on the action, which is what we came to see.When the action happens, it's cool. No cuts, no shaking cam, no implied deaths. It's everything clear and well filmed.The last fight is a little different because it's our hero against 3 guys at the same time.It sets up a sequel, if they want to make one. The action scenes and Michael Jay White are a must see.

it's set in the favelas of Brazil and looks like it was actually filmed there. The interesting, bright and colorful location makes the film a bit more unique and compelling, with a plot integrated into the seedy underbelly of the area. Speaking of the plot, it's nothing particularly new or fascinating, but it gets the job done, and the film is never boring. There is just enough mystery to keep you interested, and there's more plot than a film like Ninja and its sequel. If you enjoyed other films like Blood and Bone, Undisputed 2 & 3, or some of JCVD's recent efforts, you'll want to see this. Make sure to pay the few bucks to watch it legitimately to support this sort of film getting made.

it has something. And that something is evident in its opening minutes, when the Director astutely pans on the close-up of a hand dropping bullets into shot glasses, and then pouring whiskey over them. Then the camera shows the man with the hand drinking that high-caliber cocktail, after which he spits the bullets out, loads a couple into a revolver, and plays some Russian roulette. The audience is also given glimpses of our hero, John Falcon Chapman's PTSD- induced flashbacks that he suffers from the carnage witnessed in military combat. Shortly afterward, finding himself in the middle of a convenience store robbery, he invites a robber to shoot him. Demands it, in fact. "You either shoot me, or stop wastin' my time," he says, and then proceeds to beat the guy silly. Clearly a tormented soul here. That friends, is an opening, especially when this particular tormented soul is played with the charisma and conviction that star Michael Jai White brings to the role. In fact, it's reminiscent of the wild-eyed conviction Mel Gibson brought to a similar opening situation in the first "Lethal Weapon" movie. Crazed charisma, grabs the attention every time.Thus grabbed, one is willing to follow White's character, a muscled wedge of a man with a bad case of post-traumatic stress disorder from his service in Iraq, to the slums of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where his social worker sister Laila Ali, Muhammad Ali's daughter has been beaten and left for dead by unsavory characters. Falcon flies to Rio, calling in help from an old war buddy Neal McDonough who works there in the U.S. consulate. Director, Barbarash thrusts us into the chaotic and colorful atmosphere of the sprawling favela slums in Sau Palo, where Falcon begins his own investigation into his sister's attack, asking uncomfortable questions in the favela, and uncovering a corrupt in the city's seedy underbelly that includes a world of drugs, the sex trade, corrupt cops, and organized crime syndicates battling for control. "Falcon Rising" is a welcome throwback to 1980s action films, with strong men at the center going up alone against an unambiguously evil foe - a Japanese Yakuza outfit in this case. In colorful Brazilian surroundings, White's character, a deadly martial artist, brings acres of pain to legions of unsavory characters.Nothing new here, but well-directed by Ernie Barbarash, and White's electrifying performance coupled with some crackling one-liners makes it all seem somehow fresh. "Falcon Rising" is an entertaining film with a thrilling physical performance from its star, Michael Jai White.
