First Clip for THE TOURNAMENT

The good folks at Scott Adkins Fanz scored an exclusive clip for the upcoming UK actioner The Tournament, starring Ving Rhames, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Hu, Ian Sommerhalder, Liam Cunningham, Scott Adkins and Sebastien Foucan.  Looking for a wham, bam, thank-you-ma'am type of film with high body counts?  Then look no further than here.  Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the occasional thought-provoking films just as much as the next guy but sometimes I just want to check my brain at the door and go for a mindless thrill ride.  

Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, 'The Tournament' takes place.  A battle royale between 30 of the world's deadliest assassins, with the last man standing receiving the $10,000,000 cash prize and the title of Worlds No 1 which itself, carries the legendary million dollar bullet price tag. All fights are monitored 24 hours a day on redirected CCTV camera and broadcast secretly to a ring of high stake billionaire gamblers.

A gritty multistranded action-thriller, 'The Tournament' brings together international killers from every imaginable discipline in a blood bathed contest to the death. We follow the 'favourites' through stories of love, betrayal, revenge and redemption as they finally discover the value of life.

The Weinstein Company is set to release the film direct-to-DVD on October 20th.  You'll find the clip and the teaser trailer embedded below.

Call me silly but I am really looking forward to seeing this.

While I like Carlyle, I have to say I find the concept too far-fetched.
