Bottomline. What it lacks in story it more than makes up for with one crunching action. This really is a fantastic action film. It has been accused of being a cinematic video game, but it really isn't. This is a movie that is intended to be an action showcase, it does that. It is adrenaline filled excitement that every action fan should see.
Highly Recommended.

Yup. If you love Action/Martial Arts flicks then this is a must see. Very much reminded me of "A Rumble in the Bronx" without the comic relief. Granted, you are correct about the shallow story line,but,the acting was a grade above most films like these. Well done!
