Hongi (James Rolleston) – a Māori chieftain's teenage son – must avenge his father's murder in order to bring peace and honour to the souls of his loved ones after his tribe is slaughtered through an act of treachery. Vastly outnumbered by a band of villains, led by Wirepa (Te Kohe Tuhaka), Hongi's only hope is to pass through the feared and forbidden Dead Lands and forge an uneasy alliance with the mysterious "Warrior" (Lawrence Makoare), a ruthless fighter who has ruled the area for years.

I love movies that are based on real environments, history, and culture, and use a language that is not English and does not fit into the given environment. The Maori culture is certainly interesting, which this film also shows us. However, the most interesting part here are the fights, which are truly amazingly directed. And yes, they are brutal as hell.
