Exciting picture full of brawls by means of fierce bare-knuckled combats staged in the slums . In a world where street gangs collide with the law, neighborhood friends from infancy , Raymond ( Russell Wong of ¨Romeo must die¨ ) and Gabriel (Jason Barry of ¨Beyond Re-animator¨), must decide which side of the battle to join . This will be the ultimate fight - the one for power, family, and honor. This thrilling movie deals with a tight-lipped young who is introduced to the world of underground street fierce brawling . Two friends are separated of brutal manner after an accident , Raymond leads to prison and Gabriel to exile . Both of whom learn martial arts to survive and take different sides to fight . Raymond goes out from jail and Gabriel returns home where meet his adopted parents , the recently retired Lt Tyrell (Roddy Piper of ¨They live¨ ) and his wife (Joanna Pacula of ¨Escape from Sobibor¨) . Gabriel attempts to come up with a way to get enough money to live , but there emerges a dangerous contender versus Raymond who arranges his bare-knuckled bouts . Gabriel teams up with a police woman (Linda Park od ¨Enterprise¨ series ) to defend his family against the nasty Raymond and his hoodlums . Gabriel is soon fighting various contenders -ranging from Harlem bouncing to Oriental fighters . Gabriel decides that he has something worth brawling for and sets everything on the line to vanquish in these no-holds-barred bare-knuckle fights . Although Gabriel only wants to bash opponents long enough to gain enough honor , he is reluctant to let tricks in combats on the fighting . Every knock-out brings him closer to the existence he's always wished , but also carries him in a deadly cobweb he can't getaway . At the ending , the two old friends are forced to fight in a deadly confrontation .
The picture contains violence , drama ,thrills , and lots of brutal brawls plenty of punch , kicks, and knockouts . Acceptable performance from Jason Barry as impulsive young becoming a professional street-fighter and battling a variety of contenders , plus Roddy Pipper gives a surprisingly good acting as veteran police and special mention to Russel Wong as cruel villain . The picture belongs to sub-genre about street combats as ¨Lionheart¨ with Jean Claude Van Damme and whose maxim representation turns out to be the classic ¨Hard times¨ by Walter Hill with Charles Bronson and James Coburn ; furthermore , recent adaptation titled ¨Fighting ¨ by Dito Montiel with Channing Tatum and Luis Guzman . It's a colorful but violent entertainment that results to be the last film of his director Michael Worth . He's an expert on art martial movies as he realized Jean Claude Van Damme vehicles as ¨Kickboxer¨ and ¨Bloodsport¨ and Cynthia Rothrock as ¨Lady Dragon I and II¨. Worth is also a notorious cinematographer who photographed for Clint Eastwood various films as ¨Any which way you can¨ and ¨Bronco Billy¨ . Rating : 4,5 passable , only for those who like films in which fist-play are staged ¨ad nauseam¨.

I was saddened to see that in the credits and on your posters you fail to mention the 4 Time World Champions name. Malaipet is not mentioned anywhere. Believe me you have so many of his fans disappointed.
There would have been so many more sales if we the public in Orange County,Los Angeles County and everywhere else knew he was going to be in a movie.
Check the website "Malaipet" "The Diamond" Muaythai boxer. He has over 20 pages of credits and you could not list him once? Sorry to say I am disappointed with about a few other thousand fans of his.
You were lucky to even have him in your film.

There was not one single redeeming factor in this movie. The girlfriend and I both love action films. Especially fight scenes (Bloodsport and Kickboxer was awesome), but this movie was not entertaining. Five minutes of action followed twenty minutes of talking and "angry" facial expressions. The main hero is a troubled character who has seen battle and thus is forced to look seriously constipated at all times. The Army has disrupted his bowel movements on top of perfecting his fighting technique. The music isn't good either. They fight to the rap and hip-hop style of the streets, 'cause these guys are thugs. The rest of the soundtrack is the usual background noise to low-budget dramas.
Everything about this movie is classic B-style. The actors deliver their lines as if reading them from cue cards and the lines themselves should be set on fire and left burning in some rotten Hollywood alleyway. The film is called "Honor," but there was no honor in making this film. It was simply a waste of money, and spending wisely is something I consider to be honorable.
Go see Felon instead. The fight scenes and situations are more real.

The fighting sequences, often cut with slamming music, are outstanding. If you are a fan of Ultimate Fighting, you are going to recognize a lot of the actors here. For example, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Jason Barry, a couple from the famed Gracie fighting family, and Russell Wong.
It's a cool story but I was blown away by the fighting - the choreography, the skill, the savage nature of the fights and fighters, and the way the music in the film accentuates each thrust and parry.
This is definitely a film to watch with your friends, maybe before a pay-per-view Ultimate Fighting Match with pizza and beer. Honor was a lot of fun to watch.
