The Disciples

About This Movie

The Disciples is this curious blend of action and TV movie charm from 1999. It features four martial artists taking on the task of guarding a baseball player from some determined kidnappers. The pacing moves along briskly, with decent fight choreography that’s not overly flashy but definitely gets the job done. It has a gritty atmosphere, typical for its time, and a certain rawness that modern films often lack. The performances are solid, even if some actors may not be as well-known. What's interesting is how it manages to juggle the themes of loyalty and danger without getting too bogged down in melodrama. Overall, it stands out for its practical effects and straightforward storytelling - not your usual flashy fare.
