Summary: After five years behind bars, Isaiah Bone (Michael Jai White) finally has the freedom to do what he wants. And the first thing on his list? Getting revenge for a fallen friend who asked him to take care of his wife and child should anything ever happen to him. Of course, meting out justice -- Bone-style -- will require total and complete immersion in the underground fighting scene. Eamonn Walker and Julian Sands co-star. (netflix.com)
Overall Enjoyment: 5/40, Plot/Themes: 0/20, Cinematography/Direction: 0/20, Acting/Writing: 0/20 This movie was god-awful. At no point did the main character ever even get hurt. There was no tension created at any point which made the fights extremely boring. The fights weren't even that well choreographed.
Clears the minimum number of requirements for becoming a 70s blacksploitation classic: (1) A man with a troubled past looking for justice. (2) A buddy killed in jail mere weeks before his release. (3)
A battered trophy girlfriend hooked on drugs. (4) Some orphaned street kids. (5) A tough but fair (and beautiful and single) foster mother. (6) A sadistic Genghis Khan-quoting samurai sword-wielding crime-lord. (7) A super-rich white British kingpin and a cadre of thrill-seeking billionaires.
Decent. Really decent. Great when you just want to see some fighting. You get a story (which isn't too bad as in most fighting movies) and a lot of fights (just what you want to see), mixed with some humour. Too bad of all the flat characters and the dumb oneliners, but other than that this is one sweet piece of fighting entertainment!
This is easily the best fighting movie that has an obvious "made for TV" low budget feel. The story is quite a bit shallow, which is nothing new for this type of film, but it does have quite a good cast (including Rufio from Hook) which lifts the movie up from being terribly like it would've been with a lesser cast. The fight scenes are the reason this movie is a must see for an action fan, though. They are superbly filmed and choreographed making this a fantastic low-budget fight movie.
Ex-convict living by some sort of samurai code kicks some ass in street fighting, and revenges his prison pal. You have heard it all before, right? Good news is, that Ben Ramsey managed to make this film respectfully unoriginal. Some fights are quite decent, and the film passes the time for those who have some space for fighting movies in their cinematic hearts.
