Jiu Jitsu

2020 · 102 min

A cheesy, fast-paced martial arts vs. aliens romp with over-the-top fights and a bonkers Nicolas Cage performance.

Tagline: From the darkness, the ultimate fighter rises.
Overview: Every six years, an ancient order of jiu-jitsu fighters joins forces to battle a vicious race of alien invaders. But when a celebrated war hero goes down in defeat, the fate of the planet and mankind hangs in the balance.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, dark and tense. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, violence, memory, identity
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
