Elizabeth (Sherilyn Fenn) and Joseph (Doug Jones) have kidnapped fifty women, who will all fight to the death, or their loved ones will get shot by a sniper. The elite will watch the action, as they always do. How do these rich people build these underground empires filled with fight clubs?

Anyways, Zoë Bell plays Sabrina, an ex-military brawler, and this movie avoids what you’d expect — the women in prison things like nudity, showers and lesbian power games. Instead, it shocks you with — spoiler — Rachel Nichols getting killed off early and women who somehow learn how to do killing blows with no training at all. And this feels more like a torture porn movie than a fight tournament film.

There are some evil women, like Phoebe (Rebecca Marshall), good ones, such as Teresa (Tracie Thoms) and all in between, all fighting for, well, who knows why. Maybe because the rich and powerful, as I have learned by watching movies like this, love to watch poor people fight for their pleasure.

Speaking of Thoms and Bell, they were in Death Proof, along with Rosario Dawson, who has a small role in this.

Directed by Josh C. Waller and written by Robert Beaucage, this is pretty repetitive, with fight after fight. I can certainly suggest better rich empires having poor people fight for their twisted desires, but hey—it’s well made. You have to give it that.

You can watch this on Tubi.
