Castle Falls (2021) is a gritty action-thriller directed by Dolph Lundgren, who also stars alongside martial arts powerhouse Scott Adkins. The film tells a straightforward yet engaging story: three desperate parties converge on an abandoned hospital set to be demolished, all hunting for $3 million hidden inside. With the clock ticking, alliances are tested and bullets fly in a brutal fight for survival.

Scott Adkins plays Mike, a down-on-his-luck fighter turned construction worker, who stumbles upon the stash. Lundgren plays Richard, a prison guard trying to save his daughter with mounting medical bills. Their reluctant partnership against a crew of violent gangsters adds depth and tension to the story. The ticking-clock premise—just hours before the building is blown up—keeps the pace tight and the stakes high.

The film shines in its hand-to-hand combat scenes, with Adkins once again proving why he’s one of today’s top martial arts action stars. His fight choreography is sharp, fast, and impactful. Lundgren brings his seasoned action presence and surprisingly grounded emotion to the role, making their dynamic more than just fists and firepower.

While Castle Falls doesn’t reinvent the genre, it delivers exactly what fans want: solid action, intense fights, and a gritty atmosphere. The low budget shows in places, and the story is familiar, but Adkins and Lundgren’s chemistry and commitment elevate it into a satisfying watch for action fans.
