Plot: Captured, chained and forced to fight for survival, Red Sonja must battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire while rallying an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia.
This film was Shockingly good.
Pros: Matilda Lutz was really kill it as Red Sonja. I like the darkest tone this movie takes. The fight choreography was executed well and they were brutal. Robert Sheehan worked as the villainess Emperor Dragan the Magnificent & I surprised how much skin, violent & fertility was done underneath a small budget.
Cons: My only criticisms is some of CGI effects loos a bit dodgy and the final battles with Dragan & Annisia feel limited by the budget.
