Again, the Stunt People are one of my favorite stunt teams, so seeing early works and supporting them is what I like to do. I liked the choreography better in this than "Bound By Blood", another earlier film from the SP. The story is like "Highlander", but is pretty confusing to follow. Basically the film plays like a bunch of practice fight scenes that are pretty good, with some intermittent plot that is fast-forwardable.

Fun and entertaining independent fu flick from The Stunt People. Nowhere near as good as "Contour", and missing some of the martial arts talent used in that film. From what I understand, this project was actually started before "Contour".

This movie uses the classic kung fu movie theme of super warriors with elemental powers and the low budget special effects are employed adequately, but I think the scope and story of this movie really required much better funding. Immortal warriors with super powers should throw each other through concrete, not dry wall. I think the grandeur of the story hurt this movie the most.

I also realize that without the extra talent from "Contour" I only like to see two or three of the Stunt People performing. Eric Jacobus, Chelsea Steffensen and the Asian kid are really the only ones I find entertaining to watch. The rest of the stars and stunt performers were not all that skillful or at least did not look that great performing the fights or acting.

Something should definitely be said about Eric Jacobus. He is a champ waiting for his moment. He's kind of like the low budget unknown white Jackie Chan. That boy has got great skills and an impressive arsenal of techniques at his disposal.

The writing of the movie was actually pretty okay too. Overall I would say the movie was quite enjoyable and contained a bunch of well done funny moments as well as some pretty nice fight scenes. Definitely worth seeing but I would not say it is mandatory.

YI agree with everything you said and 3 1/2 stars is about right. I'm not one that needs a compelling story but the storyline in this was a bit confusing. Nice action though.William Giordanella

Well I have to admit I was a little reluctant to check out this indie film from the STUNT PEOPLE. If it wasn't for their films "Contour" and "Undercut", I might not have tried this one out.

They've (THE STUNT PEOPLE) done it again, produced a feature film that is fun and entertaining. Co-star Eric Jacobus is a hidden gem, and should be contending for leading man roles in Hollywood soon!

Now, I must say the production values aren't top Hollywood standard, however, this production team is up and coming. The story, dealing with immortality, good and evil, is sometimes hard to follow; however, it's paced good enough to keep you intrigued. But don't forget this film is about the martial arts and the action is top notch and entertaining. Great camerawork and choreography!

IMMORTAL is a fun alternative to mainstream action films and, if graded with a curve, is very enjoyable.

I love The Stunt People. Their films are very odd, but they deliever a great, watchable movie. "Contour" was very weird but had striking action scenes. "Immortal" is also weird but it delivers furious and intense moves. This is a recommended flick.

Mmm, this one is worthwhile just for the pure focus on fights. Juicy extras too. Still, it's inferior to "Contour" in my opinion.

I thought it was a good flick. It had humor and action and was shot well for an early film for an independent group.

I watched most bits of this film. It's a let down after "Contour", don't be fooled. It's got The Stunt People in it, "Contour" was their best film, the original is always the best. Save your hard earned money for "Contour 2", you will love it!
