My thoughts
A nice action movie. It's not the first, not the last, but it's okay. Especially James Lew and Mako were antertaining and did a good job as actors.
The fights were nice as well. So were Takamura's quotes. Billy was ok. since in this movie, he was no macho, but a vulnerable hero.
Not special, but enterraining for fans of the genre. |
