The Blood of Heroes

REVIEW
Set in a post-apocalyptic future, this intelligent, suspenseful action film stars Hauer as the leader of sort of a minor league nomadic sports team which travels from village to village to compete against locals in a torturous, savage game called jugging, which is part football, part hockey and part bloodbath. Chen also stars as a woman so adept at the game that she joins the team in hopes of making it to "the majors" -- where coveted players enjoy the good life in the confines of an underground city.
