A young boy, nicknamed Darc, witnesses his mother murdered by a Yakuza boss. Several years later and the boy is a man, and has just been released from jail. An Interpol agent organised his early release: he wants Darc to find his daughter who has been kidnapped by the same Yakuza boss. Darc now has two reasons to hunt the man down...
Mediocre. The movie had the potential to a good, gritty action-drama but misses the mark in so many respects. The plot is pretty basic, full of holes and incredibly contrived. Nothing really makes sense, except that the plot is set up to maximise the number of action scenes. Heaps of shoot-em-ups and beat-em-ups just for the hell of it, just jammed in for no rhyme or reason.
Lead performance is woeful. Nothing wrong with strong, silent types as the lead character but Tony Schiena overdoes the silent part, to the point of irritation. Quite unconvincing whenever dialogue or actual acting was required - I guess he was just there for the action scenes.
It's not all bad though. The action scenes are done well and there is a momentum and intrigue to the movie that keeps it interesting. I guess there had to be - if you had a chance to think you'd realise just how dumb the plot is...
