Comments on the Sayoc Kali choreographed knife scenes, from AICN - an online film review site.
"The knife fights in this movie are so brutal, hell, all combat in this film, of any type it is so uncompromising that after the film, some folks were wondering out loud how some scenes of extreme violence got past the MPAA. The film is complicated on several levels and forces the audience to wonder about many items left unresolved on purpose. This film will make you flinch in your seat. Friedkin1s fight sequences in this film are so visceral and fast, clear and intense that you may find yourself going, "Oh F**K, oooowww, S**T , S**T , OUCH, Oh Man Oh Man!"
You might even have your fingers in front of your eyes and peering back at the screen through the cracks between. You have been warned. You've never seen knife fights like this Don't think WEST SIDE STORY, think about striping and cleaning a deer. "
and...
" It is far more intense than I think you may be expecting, though not so much in a gory fashion, but in a kinetic way brought on by brutal editing and sound mixing. And yes, a knife is shown to be as brutal as a knife could ever be. "
from another review on AICN:
"This movie, simply put, just kicks unholy a$$. It is a non-stop, relentless assault of tension, action and bad a$$ed knife fights. This is one of those films that truly pays off"

)" the only part of the knife use I was sketchy on was the non-rotational throws, that was just kind of silly.
