Gritty and brutal fight scenes abound in a story about two brothers immigrating from the PRC to the United States to escape the persecution they face. The acting is surprisingly decent, and certain scenes carry an unexpected amount of emotional weight. Even the plot avoids being generic. Overall, it's one of the most overlooked, forgotten action classics of the 90s.
