    There’s no point reviewing a film like Caged Fury - wether its audacious, throw everything into the blender outrageousness outclasses its terrible acting, even worse editing and spectacular sized servings of misogyny will entirely depend on the viewer watching it.

    Four silenced rounds out of five.
