I have to admit--I haven't seen Dolph Lundgren in such an evil bad guy role since Rocky IV. But even though Lundgren is showing some age, he also shows why he has become a diverse actor with still impressive physical skills.Cung Le turns in an admirable performance as our antagonist, and the guy has incredible moves. Still, you have a hard time finding a true "good guy" here.This is a great action flick, suitable for a weekend "boys night in" complete with beer and pizza.I honestly didn't expect much, and that often results in me being honestly surprised. If you approach action flicks without the expectations of Academy Award winning performances, and you also understand that you're sitting down to a low budget flick, you usually get what you came for. The metal score is fun. The violence is plentiful and gratuitous. The special effects are well done and the fight scenes are epic. It's a fun movie to watch.

Wow. I would like to have been a fly on the wall when this piece of utter detritus was first pitched. I have not seen a movie so ridiculous, so badly written, so comically badly acted, so full of terrible clichés in decades, if ever.Cung Le is devoid of any acting talent and would be well advised to not quit his day job, whatever that may be. Dolph Lundgren is obviously "past it" and looks like a total alcoholic has-been in this horrible production. Blood flows freely, people die like flies, but acting and any genuine character development are absent and might not even have been able to rescue this turkey. I started laughing out loud at one point when even the fight scenes were so preposterous that even a four year old would not have believed them.Save your money. Don't even wait for it to go to cable. Just don't go and say you did. You'll be better off.

Simply great movie for MMA fans. Cung Le is just a fantastic mixed martial artist. One of the best. It's a bit sad he already passed his forties but he still good enough for the UFC! Seeing Dolph Lundgren in the movie is just entertaining. Very different look from the past.I can't understand the movie got such a bad rating. The guys who gave a bad rating might want to watch different kind of movies. My advice for them: Cinderella and Tinkerbell.The story is a typical black/white or good/bad kind of plot. So action movie fans will certainly like it. Besides action scenes some nice erotic scenes are also offered. You can't ask for more.

Cung Le's best acting so far. still has a few more wrinkles to iron out like his "ape mode" facial expression when expressing anger. It has to be more subtle and appropriate for the emotion that the script called for. Good script and well placed dialog. Action and fighting scenes are too slow for Cung or my taste. editing of fight scenes were not on point. too long of shot and slow as heck. Overall, decent story (better than half of "A" listed movies. Bad guys were not bad or dirty enough to be viewed as authentic. good actors were: motel manager, good cop, Cung's OC officer, bald drug dealer. decent actors: Cung Le, mob boss, Cung's vet "brother". There were no bad actor in this movie. No cheesy comments, no over the top agenda or political statement.
