This film is probly the worst Gary Daniels film to date, although i have seen only the ones his fans seem to love most, u know the 5 pointers and so on. As this is the case i will advise anyone who sees this to instantly turn the box over so no-one else can see the attractive cover which is made up of pictures from his different films, and make the mistake of renting it. Firstly the plot was poor, action was bad, the dialogue was really,really slow and when i thought the movie had finished, after a black screen came up for something like 30 seconds or so,it came back on for another 5 mins which was really wierd. Ther is only two marshall arts fights in this film, the near beginning fight which is real good and the end fight which is real bad. so the odds are u'll despise this film and never watch another Gary Daniels Film again, but my advice is to keep hoping he'll get a new agent or somthing, star in a jet li blockbuster and make us brits proud.

I like Gary Daniels....I think he's a good martial artist with potential to do some really good things, and his acting is waaaaay better than a lot of direct-to-vid action stars. This movie had some "style" in the direction I thought, but all the slo-mo just got boring after a while, and the action sequences were the flattest in the movie. The plot was OK, the acting for the most part was pretty bad with lots of ridiculous dialogue. The big villain, who resembles a giant Rick Rubin was just funny, and the movie's moralizing toward the end was just plain sad. Not to mention the terrible explosion effect. The soundtrack was actually decent and I've seen a lot worse, but I really can't recommend it, except for Gary's two fight scenes. Don't bother....

When I heard the plot for Black Friday it sounded like it was going to be a good action movie, but I was disappointed. I am a big Gary Daniels fan so what he releases I go and see as soon as possible. The camera angles were poorly shot and the script was lacking in many areas. The fight scenes were decent but I have seen Gary do better in movies like "White Tiger" and "Fist of the North Star." I would only suggest this movie if you are a Die Hard Gary Daniels fan. I hope Gary will continue to improve in his movies but if he keeps making movies like this one and Epicenter he will never progress in his movie career. He has the potential to be a great action with the right direction!

Best thing about this film was the film quality and soundtrack. The soundtrack was done by a musician from the Sacramento band Far. It put a lot of energy and suspense into the movie. The movie had too many instances of long standing dialogue. The best films have quick interesting dialogue. I liked the look of the movie but the premise of the screenplay was lacking. If the screenplay could have been improved the film could have been a decent one. But character development was not present and there was not enough interesting characters.
