Castle Falls (2021), directed by Dolph Lundgren, is a lean, mean action thriller that packs a punch in its compact runtime. Lundgren stars as Decker, a former MMA fighter turned prison guard, teaming up with ex-convict Gabe (Scott Adkins) to raid an abandoned hospital packed with $3 million in mob cash before it’s demolished . The duo’s gritty chemistry drives the film, with Lundgren’s stoic toughness complementing Adkins’ explosive martial arts prowess—think brutal fistfights and a standout stairwell brawl that leaves you wincing.

The plot’s straightforward heist setup, with mob enforcers hot on their heels, unfolds in a claustrophobic, crumbling castle-like setting, enhanced by a tense score that ramps up the stakes . At 89 minutes, it’s tight but light on character depth, and the dialogue occasionally stumbles, leaning on action-movie clichés. Still, it’s a no-nonsense thrill ride for fans of old-school brawls and Lundgren-Adkins synergy—perfect for a quick, adrenaline-fueled escape!
