Not terribly well made, in fact the editing is at times atrociously jarring and the characters not developed all that great, with our main hero, Kai, early on takes on a street thug as a protégé before seeing, shocker, the guy was also an a-hole, beating up innocent civilians. Perplexing decision making. The film does give Bolo Yeung a bit more to do compared with Ironheart and there is one effective scene, in which he outright commits murder, but otherwise the martial arts fights are standard and the story could’ve use some tightening. **1.75/5**
