Johnson tries too hard to make all his mayhem meaningful, to minimal effect. Still, this picture should entertain Adkins’ growing base of fans, who ought to appreciate that the star gets more freedom than usual to be delightful as well as dangerous. Read full review

It’s slow-moving and generally unpleasant, unless you want to see the bare bones of fight choreography exposed on screen, “one two three DUCK, one two KICK,” something much more commonplace in the action cinema’s past. Read full review

We get some street fights and a morale at the end...something that the poor blockbuster productions seem to have issues with.
Su and the golden boy make a perfect match and their interpretation is good, good enough to let "The Debt Collector" stay on top.
If this film did not get the success it deserves I am sure the issue is not in the film itself. We have seen a lot of garbage these years that came in front of our nose for the mere fact it was over advertised.
A good "action movie", with good actors, trying to give a lesson.… Expand

Fun to see Scott Adkins in a lead role. Sadly the movie falls pretty short of being perfect. Some odd directing choices, and it kinda rushes to finish. Not a great flic by any means.

I went into this hoping for a halfway decent B movie and that isn't really what I got. The actors were all okay and we've seen them before in lower budget films.

There wasn't much in the way of production values and you could tell that this was done on the cheap. I wasn't expecting a stellar script so to have it be as bad as it was didn't surprise me. I thought maybe there'd be some decent fight scenes but it was altogether pretty mild. I did not enjoy the cut-aways during the film. They were too artsy and this was not an art film. The ending was one of the worst endings I have seen in a long, long, time. I feel that I am being generous giving this film 3 stars and I do not recommend this film.… Expand
