The Violent

A friend of mine who worked on this short film showed it to me and I was blown away. I didn't know much about John Wayne Parr but I do now. This guy is a real 5 times world Muay Thai champion and a legend in the sport. What really surprised me was his screen presence and how comfortable he was in front of a camera. He came across so natural and likable and then he would go nuclear and kick some serious butt. The fights were nasty without too much blood and gore but enough to look realistic. This is just straight out street fighting where you get the sense that it could really happen like this. The whole film has an extreme level of coolness as well. I liked the music and the style. If there was one criticism, is that the sound effects were a bit to loud. Also, it wasn't long enough. I wanted to see more. Well done to all involved.
