ok... i know... one goes to see a movie like this <[[just]]> for the action... the fighting is in your face and brutal, and quite graphically explicit in-close its hard to tell whether the impacts and (ouch) slicing and stabbing was real or not... it must have hurt just doing the fight scenes. so i gave it 5/5 just for that. otherwise as expected the plot and premise is quite beside the point, just an excuse to see good-guys battle the baddies... with a fictionally tireless intense pace... unreal. enjoyed it nevertheless. fight choreography alone is worth the see.
great fight scenes, tons of action. this movie doesn't get hung up in good acting or even much of a plot but who cares. even the subtitles are easy to deal with. true kick-ass guy movie.
absolutely bananas.....must watch...subtitle no issue
this movie has no story line. what the synopsis doesn't tell you is that this movie only consists of fighting, gore, blood and does a horrible job of telling you whats actually going on. and when i say 'only consists of' i'm not exaggerating. not surprising that the male audience is intrigued, but anyone who goes to this movie to be entertained by a story or see more than violence will have wasted two hours of their life that you will never get back. oh and all dialogue is in subtitles, other than the last hour of the movie- which is pretty much just angry screaming.
