An amazing action movie !!!

I've seen Dojo many times and I consider it a little masterpiece! It is a project realized in a professional way, with an amazing cinematography. In our Wild Filmmaker Festival circuit we have awarded Dojo several times because it's a perfect example of an indie action movie. I hope to see a feature version of Dojo!

It is not easy to produce an action movie, we all know that important budgets are needed, but a team of artists with the right idea and the right skills can realize any enterprise. I am convinced that Dojo is the first great step of a fantastic journey.

From me also 11 stars!!!!

An astonishing movie that the industry so dearly needed!

DOJO was an extraordinary experience from start to finish! You can feel the thrill of the music, cinematography, cool fighting moves and talented acting cast and what they were able to do with a limited environment and resources! I felt enjoyment of witnessing the unpredictability of the storyline and how it is open to multiple interpretations which could be a possible dream sequence, a vision, a projection based on one's confidence, or even maybe Alfonso Lucas secretly being Shane Lucas from the future guiding his past self what to do. This movie cures boredom and deserves multiple sequels! 😎🔥

Shaun Lucas. his answer

Difficult to write what makes this short film remarkable. The martial art scenes, no doubts. Like the traces of story , as a smart crafted drawing. The flash backs , in same measure . Not the last, the nice performances.

A man before a martial arts competition in dojo of his father. Five guys entering inn and remembering the bitter consequences of leave of Yakuza against the status of favorit of leader. So, the fights . The tensioned moment, when all seems lost, especially the life of Shane Lucas. And the turn of situation.

Not great, not remarkable, easy to define it as simplistic. But correct in high measure , some touching, some motivational. And it is enough, I suppose, not only for action films fans.
