Brit Flick With Muscle

Stand up 2 the challenge is the sequel to the first film, stand up. Director Robert Cimpoes and the rest of the crew are back in action with the second and final part of the action packed movie stand up.  These guys love action genre films with revenge therefore they made another amazing film. The director has successfully created a highly acclaimed film in the short pace of 5 minutes. The viewer of this short film is promoted towards the theme by many of the techniques used by Hoang and Bacchus.

In the newly released film, after days and weeks of training, Robert catches up with the bullies that troubled him in the first part. He’s seeking revenge on two protagonists Tien and Asif who are stereotypical bullies. As Robert beats them up and he thinks it’s over, he’s unaware there is even more trouble waiting for him. Amateur actors did a perfect job! Acting works well in illustrating the emotions of the characters in the film.

After the first fight scene, the brutality doesn’t stop there. The last fight scene is definitely the best scene in the film. Pyznarska did an amazing job! She managed to squeeze so much into a short sequence. The editing is extremely tight. It is a pure adrenaline rush!

Everything here was done on an extremely tight budget, but they managed to work on high and professional level.“It’s not the money that makes the film good, it’s the director, producer, editor, actors and everyone else involved in the film” states Hoang.

The music plays a key part in narrating the short film. Cimpoes and Bacchus created several soundtracks for different scenes. The music works with the action very well as it builds up the tension. The amazing fight choreography created by Hoang creates an exaggerated and surreal atmosphere in order to create insane, intense scenes.

This film is one of the films which have easily exceeded all of my expectations. It’s outstanding, blending the key elements of action. If you like action films, this one is perfect for you!
