Black Creek

I bought it on Amazon Prime on the first day. Loved it! Going to rewatch this weekend. Will definitely buy the blue ray when it gets released. I have to comment on the cinematography... It's beautiful! It stands up to any Hollywood blockbuster and shows what dedication and spirit can produce without an astronomical budget. Thank you and your team for all of the hard work!

Cynthia Rothrock is a martial arts legend. Her characters have always been a step above the average in such films. I'm really impressed by her acting skills in this. The whole cast adds a gravitas to what could be just another martial arts film.

Wonderful fighting scenes, but I was also emotionally engaged with the story.

Well done!

A star-studded cast led by the legendary Cynthia Rothrock absolutely delivers in this thrilling, action-packed western that blends old-school grit with modern martial arts intensity.

The late, great Richard Norton gives a standout performance as the film's unforgettable villain-equal parts menacing and magnetic. Their on-screen chemistry and fierce fight scenes are a true highlight. It's a rare treat to see this kind of genre crossover done so well.

If Hollywood is listening we need more westerns likr this are few and far between these days-we definitely need more! Already looking forward to the sequel.

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.

BLACK CREEK - has your back seat to a sensational return to the screen and this time Grandmaster Cynthia Rothrock wearing triple hats in the cr8tive film making realm. In her 4 decades in film , she has incredibly grown not only as an actress but a very viable filmmaker. Here she's plays outlaw Rose Jennings , who learns her dear brother has been murdered and seeks the inexcusable reason why . (tho some may say revenge plot cliche ) the DELIVERY of this utilized formula , is HEARTFELT ORIGINAL w the performances of the entire cast , w Keith Cooke (Scorpion from Mortal Kombat & China O Brien) deliberating more depth than usual with this role , as a ranch hand from her past . Long time Martial Arts sensation Richard Norton (Norris The Octagon /Fury Road/and king time costar of Mrs Rothrock . And sadly recently passed away as this is now his final film performance ) as the villain, Sinclair in a revenge western , that also has a lot of heart with its story on redemption , reception & ultimately restitution complete with a well rounded cast from a lot of action film history , w excellent performances by Undefeated WORLD CHAMPION Benny The Jet Urquidez and his fight reunion with another #1 Champion in tournament circuit Sensei Keith Vitali and Kickboxing champion Don The Dragon Wilson as a surprisngly belivable shaman healer , the film has MUCH MORE going for it , than just an action martial arts film ... if you like The Magnificent Seven or Outlaw Johnny Black , you'll absolutely love saddling up for BLACK CREEK !!!

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.
