# A not
atypical tale of a brother who, loving martial arts, is seeking a fight to
avenge a lost family member.
# The
production seems to revel in the genre's tropes, failing to miss any out whilst
succeeding to revision them pleasingly. The sound mix is spotty for little
reason and the 80’s style wound makeup is a damage to the story. The end
credits scene alone is worth the price of admission, there are also some truly
great rap songs on the OST.
# The
factually ‘big name’ international cast does a good job, if a little
unsurprisingly. Nobody involved deserves to have any less work. The love
interest, Sara Malakul Lane, should be in more everything.
# Slick
but bland visuals present neat but uninspiring viewing, with a seemingly
monotone palette that washes the pop out of even the neon-filled night scenes.
The fighting has an endearing sense of honesty about its staging that will make
most sceptics loud but make genre fans smile.
# One to
watch when you want a film that does what it says on the tin.
