From cockfighting rings and train yards, to basements and barns across South America, modern-day warriors put on bulletproof vests and duel one another in underground gunfights to gain riches and respect. It's known only as the Game and Zorringer (Mickey Rourke - Iron Man 2) is its elusive champion. Our hero, John (Ryan Kwanten - True Blood), is looking for the ultimate duel with Zorringer while Colt (Freida Pinto - Rise of the Planet of the Apes) is seeking revenge for the death of her brother. The two gunslingers travel from one shootout to another on a dangerous journey of love, violence and clandestine battles. (101 Films)

You don't expect anything like this at all, and in the end, you get a pretty original romance that unfolds based on some very special battles. These are classic duels, except that when they shoot, they aim at the chest where the duelists wear bulletproof vests. Sure, it could go very wrong, and it does go quite wrong. Perhaps it's a pity that the principle wasn't utilized more and the focus was on relationships. Even better drama could have been made out of this.
