Black Creek

On the 17 June BLACK CREEK was released on major platforms and I watched it twice, and that is after I was blesses to be on a premiere in California. This is such an amazing old west story, but its also a martial arts western. Not just that I find it to be a dark graphic novel on screen. Yes there is also a real Black Creek novel and the film is even cooler! The martial arts film legends Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton (Rest in peace🙏🏻), Keith Cooke, Don Wilson, Keith Vitali, Benny Urquides and more made am amazing ansamble and so many cinematic views. The mood set on screen puts chills down my spine. Crazy stunts, fight choreography directed by Mike Moller, what a pleasure for my eyes! I really hope to see more soon, no spoilers, see the end credits.

I'll be honest-I went into Black Creek thinking this was going to be a respectful nod to all of us who've stuck with Cynthia Rothrock through the years. A little nostalgia, a couple of signature kicks, and a reminder of why she's a legend.

But she went above and beyond.

Yes, the nostalgia is there-those fight beats, that no-nonsense stare, the quiet intensity before the storm-it all hits in the best way.

But what I didn't expect was just how much grit, power, and heart Rothrock still brings to the screen. This isn't just a tribute to her past roles-this is a legit action film with real stakes, solid performances, and a leading lady who hasn't missed a step.

The fight scenes are raw, grounded, and tight-no flash just for the sake of flash. Every move feels earned. She's not just here to show up-she's here to remind everyone that she still sets the standard.

And let's not ignore the emotional depth she brings to this one. There's a weight to her character that makes you lean in between the punches. She wears experience like armor-both on-screen and off-and it shows.

So, to Cynthia: thank you for not phoning it in. Thank you for showing up and still giving it your all. And thank you for continuing to be the Lady Dragon we all fell in love with.

Final verdict: 9/10 stars - a powerful return that doesn't rely on the past but earns every minute of the present.

It's a great Martial Arts action western movie, the fighting scenes was fantastic, the acting was fantastic, the killings was fantastic, the whole movie was great, I would highly recommend it to anyone, Cynthia Rothrock did an amazing Job and I'm looking forward to part 2, I know it will be even better than the first, I'm so glad I bought this movie and got to watch it with my family, I don't normally watch westerns but this one is the best, I love Martial Arts and I enjoy watching Cynthia Rockrock, Don Wilson and others, Thanks for such an amazing movie, I will tell all my Martial Arts friends here in Alabama about it and let them see it for themselves.

I worked with Cynthia Rothrock and had a fight scene with her on Sworn to Justice in 1996. Honestly, as much as I enjoyed her movies over the decades...this was my absolute favorite. The story, acting, and production were very well done. I know about 1/3 of the people in the film. But Richard Norton has been a dear friend of mine for 27 years. I'm still very heartbroken by his loss, but I'm happy, thanks to Cynthia, that he left us on a high acting note. This was his finest acting performance ever, and yours too. Thank you for taking great care in putting this production together. I admire you and your vision.

At any rate...BRAVO on Black Creek. It is a very good one. Best Western I've seen in years. And a strong female lead in this genre, I don't believe, has ever been done before.

Warm regards, Ray Normandin.

This is one you got to check out. Cynthia Rothrock and Robert Clancy vision for this movie and seeing it thru with that vision all the way to production. A super A B and C cast there is definetly some old and new talent in this film. Great fight scenes, humor and all around excitement from start to finish! Cynthia Rothrocks performance, Richard Norton, Don "The Dragon" Wilson, R Marcus Taylor, Brandy Futch, Jody Nolan, Eliza Kelly, Keith Vitali, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, and many Martial Artist from around the world. Can't say enough about fight and stunt choreographer Mike Moller and his team were fantastic. BRAVO! Can't wait to see Black Creek 2.
