Imperium
An undercover FBI officer infiltrates neo Nazi groups...pretty good compared to most films about bone heads and the far right. It could have possibly been a bit longer to allow a more convincing bonding between the agent and the Nazis and explored the agents personal emotions as he struggles with getting his job done and his closeness to the people he will betray. Worth a look.
Traders
Excellent Irish film about a fight club where people fight to the death having arranged the fight via a website. I really enjoyed this, the fights are brutal and there is a great use of location to echo the film's underlying theme of the recent recession...the fights take place in half finished building sites and industrial waste lands. Worth a look too.
Beyond the Gates
80s horror homage that works surprisingly well as it riffs on nostalgia for crap films and videotapes. Fun stuff. Recommended.
Top Cop
A racist and homophobic cop who looks like a short cubby Chuck Norris, shoots and punches to death just about everyone he meets. Excellent low budget action flick from 1990. Shit blows up!
