"I don't know why this did not hit the big screen. It has great virtues as well as amazing martial arts."
Why, Russell, Why!?!

"I've been a Russell Wong fan for years. However, I'm deeply saddened that he was a main character in this D-movie. With his head shaved, he proved that he has a nice cranium, but I still think it was meant to hide his wrinkles. I hate that he is beyond his prime.
I loved the diverse cast. It was amazing to see "ROWDY" Roddy Piper in a fatherly, aged role. Still, this was a poorly-done "urban drama." The fighters' moves were sped up because they were not that spectacular. The army vet lead is meant to be macho based upon his aloofness and elective mutism. However, I felt like he filled the screen with what Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction" called "uncomfortable silences." The movie tries to marinate on the theme of honor and it falls flat.
Only watch this film if you can sit through low-quality flicks."
