Worth Watching: The Tournament Trailer with Ving Rhames

Yet another worth watching trailer that I stumbled across today (thanks to Collider). The Tournament comes from director Scott Mann and stars a few notable actors like Ving Rhames and Robert Carlyle. The tagline for this reads: "Every seven years the world's greatest assassins gather... Only one will survive." It's sort of a tournament for assassins set in an "unsuspecting town" and Carlyle's character gets involved because he accidentally swallows a tracking beacon from one of them. It's not the greatest plot, but it does look like it has a lot of awesome action, and that's what really counts the most. Anyway, fire this trailer up!

Watch the full trailer for The Tournament:

For more info on this film, head to the official website at mannmadefilms.com.

Every seven years in an unsuspecting town, The Tournament takes place. A battle royale between 30 of the world's deadliest assassins. The last man standing wins the $10 million cash prize and the title of Worlds No. 1 Assassin, which carries the legendary million dollar per bullet price tag. Anyone interested in it?

The Tournament is directed by Scott Mann, of a few short films previously. The screenplay was co-written by Jonathan Frank, Nick Rowntree, and Gary Young, who are all first-time feature writers. This film was developed independently and hasn't been picked up for US distribution yet, so stay tuned for more updates.

"You need to start killing if you want to stay alive" Looking forward to! But I have to agree with #6 Xerxex, it's probably just a mindless action-packed flick with no great plot.
beavis4play

over-the-top action kind of reminds me of " smokin' aces". i into seeing this.
Crystal

At first i was like "yeah, looks like some good mindless violence, I'm up for that" and then the priest came in, and i was SOLD!!!
Jimbo

Actually looks 110 x better than Terminator Salvation.
DoomCanoe

fuck yes!
albino

quite funny, i watched it just yesterday over here in good ol' germany. it was shown during the "fantasy filmfest" and it's exactly what the trailer looks like: the story's bullshit, but the action is pure fun and lots of gore...decent b-movie
Jon the Rob-ot

Being a priest is a good cover...
Janny

out of all those 'world class assassins' why was only one of them smart enough to dig out that transmitter? looks like fun though

Jean Claude Van Damage should have been in this 15 years ago. Late nighter on tv for sure.
SuicidalOptimist

Robert Carlyle is awesome! Looks like a brainless action flick for a friday night. At home I mean, not at the theater. With a bag of chips and some beers. Sweet!
D.

No one else remembers this movie? Mean Guns (1997) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHPxxXTTGBk
Syphous

Ha! D. (#29) is right. This looks basically the same as Mean Guns, only with more blood and better actors and better story. Mean Guns was doomed though, Ice-T and Christopher Lambert? Good God, that's a fail. This movie looks much better and if the trailer isn't advertising it as something it's not (like Basterds) then it should be an entertaining, theater-worthy, fun time.
wHiskey Tango....

Looks like a decent popcorn flick ala the Stratham movies. I'd see it.
ChrisUK

hah looks fantastic! Plus Scot Adkins is in it, and he rocks.

I'm sold
Marty

Yeah it looks like a rehash of Mean Guns. Good to see a shot em up movie shot in the UK, and Bobby Carlyle keeping most of his accent for a change. Could be fun

i hope Lionsgate gets this film and put this in theaters or release this on dvd
http://www.mkingscott.co.uk Mike Kingscott

Yeah, I'll go for that
dougo162

A real mix bag, Seems like nice edit on trailer attempts to up the anty on probably what is a rather low budget shoot-em up flix. Can't beat the thrill of chase scene on a double decker? wahoo sexy--that'll bring in the Fast and Furious crowd. Always nice to see Robert Carlyle though. grade C
http://www.goseetalk.com Marc

OK...I'm game!!...get it? 'Tournament' humor...oh well forget it. But seriously, pretty slick looking trailer. Little campy, slightly original, may have some dumb or dull spots but still feels like a good paced flick. Like the gritty look and who knows, this could be a sleeper hit...like 28 Day Later, or something that unexpectedly does well. Can't wait for this and Legion...
Paul Revere

This is straight lift from 2000 AD's Button Man series. Still, looks good and I am highly likely to see it!!!
David Banner

Ving Rhames finally in a good flick
Rachel Replicant

its a classic story line and sure it looks like it has tons of stuff weve seen before, but it looks fun as hell and the type of movie you know exactly what you are in for from the begining..)I dont think anyone expects to see hamlet when they see this)! looks cool, id see it.
Lazarus from Sparta!!!!

i was gonna say Mean Guns with C.Lambert and Ice T but others have beaten me to it i am not expecting a great story here but may be a twist at the end wont hurt either afterall its action or an all out action flick.. so bring some great action and scenes so lack of story may be forgiven
Gaby

^ 51 film lover / do you know the guy ? as i heard two guys were hurt ,one is dead ,the other is with broken leg !
