well i finally got to see this movie yesterday and i have to say it was well worth the watch..... Anyone looking for a martial arts film look elsewhere as this in nothing like his traditional films.....its a full on action film.... GOOD POINTS.....fast paced action film, a good plot good believable acting,a nice end fight with the boss....
BAD POINTS...the camera work will drive you crazy at points...someone obviously decided to try and copy things like black hawk down,24 etc...and failed. the film does look like a expensive film that is until we get to the CGI helecopters at the end which look about as realistic as house made out of jelly....
SUMMARY.... overall this is a good film....although this is a straight to DVD release....don't let that put you off as there have been a lot of films on the cinema recently with big name stars that this film easily outclasses... there arn't a lot of fight scenes but the for realism martial arts would not really have a place in a violent gun battle...but the few scenes there are are very realistic including a nice knife fight at the end. but be warned those looking for films like bloodsport or kickboxer don't look here...but if your looking for a nice fast paced action movie,then this is for you.
