The Gate

While this presents some of the best martial arts I've seen, we are given no reason for the activities of this young woman. Apparently, her sister is in a room having attempted suicide. What ensues is one choreographed battle after another. It was entertaining but more like a promotion for a longer film.

I watched The Gate on Youtube and it was decent. It's a martial arts film by Madison Films. It stars Amy Johnston as Cassie Weston, a master fighter who gets involved in a dangerous situation after getting a mysterious device. She has to fight her rival, played by Cecep Arif Rahman, who wants the device for himself.

The film is well-made and entertaining. The cinematography, editing and music are all good and fit the mood. The film has a lot of action and suspense, with some twists and turns along the way. The fight scenes are impressive, with the actors showing off their skills and choreography. The film also has some humor and emotion, as Cassie tries to save her sister's life.

The film is not a very original or deep film, it's more of a fun and exciting film with a sci-fi twist. It's not very long, only 10 minutes, but it delivers a lot of entertainment. It's a decent and enjoyable film that showcases the talent of the filmmakers and the actors.

The Gate is a martial arts film that you might want to watch. It's a decent and entertaining film that will keep you interested and amused. I liked it enough and I hope to see more from Madison Films. I would give it 7 out of 10 stars.

The story is minimal, imparted at the very beginning and the very end of these 8 minutes. The set and its decoration look good, as do wardrobe and props. Effects come mostly in the form of blood, but these look swell, too.

Above all, 'The gate' is an exhibition of martial arts skills. With Amy Johnston starring, we get to see her show off some of what she (and/or double Allison Caetano) knows against several opponents; hats off as well to choreographer Cecep Arif Rahman.

Quick as this short is, there's not much more to say. I'd have liked to have seen more, but I do enjoy it for what it is - and we can certainly catch more martial arts elsewhere, from Johnston and others.
