The bad; Could have been a solid 8 stars IF ONLY the story would have been more credible. There are too many farfetched plot turns, especially in relation to a young kid who suddenly has the capabilities of a seasoned assasin. That was WAY TOO UNLIKELY to take for granted...
The good: this is still a full blown hardhitting action flick, with thrilling fights till the death. Masterfully choreographed and filmed. Quite spectacular!
More good: really good acting performances by all the actors involved. The direction is tightknit.
Recommended watch for the fans of the genre PROVIDED you can dispend some of the sillier, unbelievable plot turns.
The story: a Sicilian mobster in hiding with a fake new ID and living a remote life with a new wife and daughter gets viciously attacked by revengeful mobsters. Will he be able to protect his daughter from harm?
Thoughts of "Leon" come to mind, because it is an identical story, but "Leon" was way better and way more fun.
