Lost Phoenix

This is an ambitious action flick that delivers a potent combination of martial arts, gunplay, and swordplay with some good character development along the way. Actors Eliza Kelley (Layla) and Wan Dral (Isaac) shine as adversaries pitted against each other. Nice to see a subtle respect develop between them. I appreciate that the filmmakers kept the action happening at regular intervals. Nice production values - cinematography and sound. It's great to see an action movie set on the East Coast (Richmond, VA) for a change. Eliza Kelley delivers a standout performance that leaves the male actors scrambling for cover.

I love this indie action covid movie! After such intense stuff we all went through with covid, it's nice to see some creativity come from it! I thought this was a well done low budget movie, lots to celebrate here. One- a cast that seems very committed to the story and shows up! I thought everyone did a great job. Two- the movie looks really great. You can tell the filmmakers had a lot of vision in how they wanted this film to look. Lastly, and probably my favorite thing about it- the editing! I was so surprised at how tight and sharp this movie is. Would definitely recommend to any indie movie fans looking for some great action.

I didn't know when I started watching this if it was a Hollywood blockbuster or indie film. It did become clear that it was the later very quick. It's a shame because this film could have been a winner without the big budget. The main actor has alot of charisma and kept me watching but there were just too many scenes with not so good actors that should have been shot again or got another actor. The odd scene maybe but after a while these bad scenes stack up and puts the viewer off. It was a decent enough story and put together quite well, it just needed a bit more editing or removal of some of the dialogue especially as it was from the not so good actors. Not a bad film but the negative points just took over for me anyway.
