Starts of strong--with good looking and realistic fight scenes in the beginning. I agree with another reviewer that the story is predictable, but it is fairly well executed. However, I thought the last fight scene was clumsy (perhaps it was realistic, but it wasn't very satisfying). The bigger problem is the way the film dealt with the philosophy of never striking a person. I thought the explanation was pretty disappointing (and not very clear).

The Martial Arts are great but the story is oft told and pretty standard and the acting is universally average with no standout performances.

Predictable movie, but still well executed. The movie is not your typical martial arts flick where there are many flashy moves, but more about the art of karate. Some of the fight scenes must have been real.
