Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Tournament (2009)

A decent idea: every 7 years the best-of-the-best assassins have a to-the-death competition with a huge cash prize (and premium betting for enthusiasts). This time, however, one of the contestants gets smart and removes the tracker that allows the bettors (and other competitors) to keep an eye on his movements and it’s ingested by a drunken priest.

There's lots of fun mayhem and action, but every time the reigning champion (Ving Rhames) is on-screen, everything slows to a drag.
