Any modern day martial arts fan should be drooling all over for this film. It contaisn some of todays best known actors from the genre and places them in a fightfest of sorts.
The problem is that they just aren't used for what they are best at and the plot itself feels stale so it never feels like the film is trying to be its own thing.
It's not a bad film by any means though. It's fun, has some decent fight scenes but again it has some much going for it and just fails to use it for all its worth. It's a shame to because this could have brought the genre back in the states but instead continues its downward spiral and what's worse is that they released it in April and in comparison to April's other films this is the weakest next to Prom Night.
I'd still recommend this to the genre fans and give it a full rental recommendation. As for seeing it in the theater, I say pass as you most likely won't get your moneys worth from this film. Go see one of the much better films in the theater right now as it's been a shitty year and this has been the best month so far with only one dud and one okay film (this one)
