Review by Stephen Tronicek

Kill Ratio is a poorly conceived Die Hard power fantasy that at moments finds itself looking fine, and being hilariously ridiculous. Seriously, if you want to see a Russian coup happen in a hotel that ends with an unbelievably apathetic hero fighting an old man with a sword, well then this movie is in fact for you, but Kill Ratio is too bland to be for anyone else.

Have you heard this story? A violent series of events has put a president (oddly not American in how nationalistic this movie is) in danger and it’s up to one man to fight his way through a couple of armed violent henchmen to save the president. So it’s Die Hard, Olympus Has Fallen, and White House Down, and it’s nowhere near as entertaining as two of those happen to be.

The problem is mainly with the protagonist,...

The new action film “Kill Ratio” follows American covert operative James Henderson (Tom Hopper) who is on a business conference with his inexperienced colleague, Gabrielle (Amy Huberman) to bring capitalism to a newly democratized Eastern European republic. But soon the city is rocked by explosions and gunfire and it’s up to James and Gabrielle to hide president Tania Petrenko (Lacy Moore) from Colonel Lazar (Nick Dunning), an old guard military man and leader of a coup. James eventually realizes he and Lazar will have to battle it out for justice and supremacy. Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

The film is directed by Paul Tanter, who previously directed “The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan,” about an unemployed soccer fan who becomes a credit card fraudster and gangster. He eventually followed this up with two sequels.

With the release of Paul Tanter's action flick Kill Ratio looming over us it is time to share an exclusive clip with you from the flick. In it, our hero, James Henderson, is engaged in a fierce fire fight with some militants while Tania gives a stirring speech during a live broadcast. Usually those kind of speeches usually take place in the third act so let us assume that Henderson has been killing lots of bad guys up to this point.  Let's have some fun with this clip, shall we? I understand you have a budget and taking your cue from the RocketJump school of filmmaking (seriously no slight against those guys, they're awesome) you have used your after effects to digitally add muzzle flashes...

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, interviewed by police but not arrested or detained as protests continue across Middle East

A film-maker thought to be behind a crude movie that sparked anti-American riots across the Muslim world has been questioned by police in California, as President Barack Obama vowed to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of four Americans in Libya.

The developments came after days of chaos that has seen numerous attacks on American and other western targets, ranging from Us-branded fast food restaurants in Lebanon to a deadly assault on a consulate in Benghazi that killed the Us ambassador to Libya and three others.

The protests, which appeared on Saturday to be subsiding, were galvanised by the emergence of a crude anti-Islam video called Innocence of Muslims that was made in California.

That movie, according to a lengthy trailer which has spread via YouTube, depicts the prophet Muhammad as...
