Awesome 👏
I love this film. It's beautifully made, splendid acting and action scenes. The story is great and although it might seem like it's mainly about fighting and violence, it's not. I'm also good to see that they only speak Māori in the film. (FYI, this is not a horror, but still a film worth watching.)
Loved it. Fantastic fight scenes, great acting, tight plot. The series didn't hold my attention but this is absolutely phenomenal as a stand-alone film.
won't stream
