"Fighting Olympus" certainly understands the importance and power of relationships necessary for a buddy cop movie and the two leads - Leslie Jones and Devinair Mathis - readily put that on display. You sense a real chemistry between the two and they never felt forced.

From the opening shots over Echo Park to the sweeping aerials of inner-city Los Angeles, the director understands the mood and feel of the city.

I love a good Los Angeles cop movie and "Fighting Olympus" offers something unique by plugging a little Greek mythology into the mix as our heroes plunge into the depths of a violent criminal underworld.

It is amazing what these filmmakers were able to accomplish. This is a HUGE movie full of big sets, exotic locations, tons of characters and TONS of action. Gun battles, hand to hand combat, you name it! This movie delivers them ALL. It's really inspiring to see what can be achieved without big Hollywood budgets when you've got creativity and a great group of creative, willing and talented people. But it's not JUST the spectacle that makes this movie watching. The story is EPIC! Twists and turns, colorful characters and a great, core story of love and family anchoring it all. See it to believe it!
