Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Yawn. Some people fight.Yawn. Some more fights Yawn. Dull plot twist yawn. Poor overacting.Yawn. Not sure what happened, eyes heavy cant stay awake.Snoooooooooooooooooooooooore!!!! Yes that best explains my experience of watching the Purifiers, one of the dullest British, ney FILMS ever. And I have sat through Val Kilmer in the Saint and Dr Moreux. Kilmer in Batman Forever. Mortal Komat 2. Now and Then. Matrix 2 & 3.And you know what NOT ONE OF THEM came close to this.Oh and its a rip of off the Warriors with the same ideas done on a lot less money. See the other film instead. SEE ANYOTHER FILM instead!

If you look at the DVD you might be interested to rent or buy it... Don't make that mistake. When I was looking at the DVD on the video club, story was looking promising, Dominic Monaghan, Karate, Science-fiction,cute actress, everything that could make a movie fun to watch. But it doesn't, not even near fun to watch. -Dominic Mohaghan have the 4th role in this movie but they tried to sell that movie in Canada with him on the DVD. -Combat scenes are bad, too many slow motion -No sex, no gore, no real sci-fi except 2-3 scenes at the beginning. Basically NO REASON to rent/buy/copy this DVD. I don't even know why Dominic Monaghan accepted to be in this movie...

Before you read on, I'm not positive this is a spoiler, or at least part of it, that's why I checked the box.I loved it! I mean, yeah the plot was a little...shady??...um, mehish. The cinematography was beautiful and the lighting was really...experimental, but it worked. The only thing I didn't like (besides the language and the mehish plot) was the split screen parts. It was too much to be watching and too fast.Dominic however, was fantastic (maybe I'm a bit biased?)and I'm really pleased to see him in a darker sort of role. He got out of his comfort zone and I loved it.

The Purifiers could have had a better run, but instead the movie in every detail stumbled over its own feet. The movie tries to be art-like by adding a new genre, the Scottish martial arts genre. Yet instead of art the movie tends to be a walking cliché with an original idea. I do believe that the actors tried, but like any pretty good actor with a dodgy script, trying just leads to over acting, and over acting just might as well throw a rose on the grave of any decent profits. However, being a marital arts movie there is a scene in a Chinese restaurant that was hilarious, not intentionally funny, but still. Have a couple of pints, lose the ability to add two plus two, sit back and relax, and this movie will be GREAT! Still one can only take so much of unrealistic, slow motion fight scenes. There is not enough background information on the Purifiers to give the viewer any emotional attachment to the main characters; there are too many gangs to allow any tension to build a climatic moment. Overall, a nice try, but nothing ground breaking and entertaining enough to make me watch or recommend this movie.
