My thoughts

Not a bad movie. It is more in the past, and the environment is very nice. The acting is not bad at all. The budget wasn't big but they did whatever they could do. The story is typical, but most stories are.

The fights are well choreographed. What did you expect with four (!!!) choreographers. Some cool stunts and a satisfying end. Predictable though.

The only problem is Marc Singer. He's a  cool actor, but not GERMAN (!!!). And there are better fighters. But Olivier Gruner, Hien Nguyen and Erik  Betts rule!!!!!
