The first or second turkey bad film of the year (maybe the third?) but its certainly the first I can say for sure is awful.Its a film about some guys (several award winning wushu artists) who try to get their slave conditions in the tin mine better but the mine owner decides to kill everyone. The heroes escape but plan revenge.Bad. Just bad.Laughably awful music.The action is badly filmed with lots of distracting CGI.Its awful.I mean the dialog is among the worst I've seen and don't get me started on the narration which is howling awful avoid at all costs

Well first of all the CG was rather disappointing I didn't rent the movie to watch CG blood I rented it to watch a martial arts film which is what it is. It has nothing to do with historical facts (No more than say Indiana Jones) It has nothing to do with acting (because the acting was horrible) It had nothing to do with the directors abilities (because they are non existent) It was a martial arts film ( I am a wushu Thai Chi fan) The four leads were Wushu National champions (unlike a previous post that said they were "pretty good fighters" The lead bad guy was also a wushu nation champion) If you just want to watch a martial arts film its fine but if you want history or acting I would say no.

Yes i totally agreed with cffong, this work of disgrace is soo horrible it actually cause me nightmares , few days of sleepless nights, its so bad that thinking about it will traumatize me all over again.The visual effect is work than any Malaysian movie made in the 70's, director doesn't even understand the concept of story telling, no focal point on any characters, story flow and script close to non existence, the writer tries to make it historical throw is some fictional tin miner story, with not a single reference to the actual deal, then all of sudden it becomes a kungfu flick where all the miners turn mortal combatan, zzzzzz..... Its like the director and writer tries to torture me with bad actings, story, visual and sound. Pushing the viewer to the limit, making them suicidal,I warn u all that haven't seen it, its a CRIME AGAINST NATURE , a sin among men, don't put yourself to such cruel torture, but then again one could always buy it and send to ur mortal enemy, death by movie trauma.

Can't blame the poor reception of this film. I spent RM8 on this DVD title and I think it was my poorest judgment of spending that RM8.First of all, the story line. It's so awfully mixed up, yeah of course, there was a plot: Men get killed, Men revenge, Kill each other, Good guys win. Despite of the poor CG blood, come on, repetitive scenes! Repeatedly shown to remind the viewers that the same incident has happened. What kind of directors are dumb enough to 'pis' off the viewers by doing dumb tricks again,again and again. Wake up, the viewers are not as dumb as you, OK?!Acting was even worst, can't blame 'em, none of them are professional actors, they can't even speak proper dialogs. There are huge load of 'sheet' from this movie that disgust me, sound, visual, dialogs, acting, story line, casting etc.I don't even want to think back how I could sat there and endured the suffering by letting this piece of 'sheet' movie play on my TV! This movie is a disgrace to all Malaysian. Please do all Malaysian a favor, don't advertised this movie as "Made in Malaysia"!
