Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
this movie didn't have a massive budget so understand that from the start, but the talent behind it in David Ismalone (you'd know from Ong Bak) the great Tim Man martial arts legend and young up and coming martial arts actor and renowned stuntman Don Ferguson whose film it is.Has a good story for a martial arts movie, everyone who worked on this film gave their blood sweat and tears and worked their guts out.For everyone who knocks it let's see your completed film! this stands above so many martial arts films for fight scenes and story wise been watching martial arts movies since I was 5 years old and this is a top notch film worth a look.Great stuff can't wait to see more of your films.
"Before my showdown with Ken I must leave Sherol (my baby son) with one of the few people I trust, Reyosan, he is a sword maker and he lives the old ways of the samurai".Really? Think that is a good idea?"I walked and I walked 'til I could walk no more."Correction "I traveled for many days 'til I could walk no more."The spots of animation were kind of a nice touch.He develops a conscience after being a, stipulated, don't just rough people up and warn them, kill them (leave no one alive) bloodthirsty mercenary? Really? Story line and monologue needed a lot more for the movie to carry its weight.The action scenes were okay but not enough to remedy the overall production. Killing off his wife seemed totally contrived. Him carrying around a baby was just too weird.Interesting film title but the movie simply does not live up to it.
I am about halfway through the movie, and if you're anything like me, you'll need closure. So...don't even start to watch the movie.As stated by other reviewers, the acting is similar to the acting you'd see in a local commercial. The fighting is what you'd see in a beginner's fighting class. And the story, it's the same story you've seen time and time again.I love watching train wrecks, so I just have to finish what I started, and see this through to the end. I'm sure it's exactly as I expect it to be, because I expect no plot twists, and I've seen this movie before with a different title, and much better acting.Just my two cents, but save your time, and money, and watch something with more substance. Wish me luck on finishing the rest of the movie.
This is the typical highly skilled trained team of killers, one has a conscious, is left for dead by the rest of the group, but guess what, he's not dead. Oh yeah, they killed his wife. So he seeks out the rest of the team for revenge, taking with him his baby son, who's crying every other minute in the movie.You watch a movie like this for the action, which is a total stinker. Guys throwing their punches in slo mo as to not hurt the other actor. Its dreadful. None of the fight scenes are any good. Also, the lead actor gets stabbed thru the center of the chest (heart?) not once, but twice thru out the movie. The second time he's immediately walking away with his son like it was nothing. The movie is mercifully short but don't waste your time.
