K.G.

The acting is either wooden or scene chewing over the top with almost nothing in between. The plot is paper thin, generic, and illogical even by martial arts movie standards. Overall, the movie feels low budget....but none of that is probably why you're interested in this movie. You probably care about the fighting and I'm happy to report that this movie has plenty of excellent fight sequences.

The movie doesn't have the budget or the creativity for big action set pieces, so they wisely keep the action sequences as simple as possible. That puts the actor's very cool karate fighting styles front and center. The movie does not use quick cuts or shaky camera so you really get to see the details of the fight choreography. Overall, that's the main appeal of the movie. Hand to hand combat. It elevates an otherwise bad movie into watchable territory.

Bonus points for including behind the scenes fight and stunt footage during the ending credits. Not enough action films do that these days.
