    Is this the world's only German post-apocalyptic kung-fu movie? Probably.

    The film is also low budget, cliched, predictable, and determined to take itself seriously. If only it had been a little more amusingly bad, it might have become a cult classic. I did chuckle at several parts.

    Still, there are some decent fight scenes here despite the annoying over-editing and I found myself enjoying it more than I should. If you want to see German ski-mask clad ninja/stormtroopers getting thrashed by a guy who does in fact look a lot like James Van Der Beek, this may be your only option.

    Nothing original, Nothing deep or meaningful, A cliche action movie, But at least it's not annoying and has some good action scenes, The thing I can't understad is the reason why the first action scenes are much better than the last ones

    Not a bad film by any means, but the problem is that, despite good acting and some excellent fight scenes, this film has, well, nothing else to offer. First off, the plot is simple but is presented in a confusing manner. Secondly, you can tell there was a really, really, REALLY low-budget. It really shows, even down to the picture quality. On top of that, the music is a weird mixture of crappy rap and big, epic orchestral music.

    But that being said, this is a martial arts movie (and GERMAN martial arts movie), and in that depratment, it succeeds. The fights are excellent and exhilarating, very well-done. This Mathias actor (who reminded me alot of James Van Der Beek) can definitely stand his own against Tony Jaa and Jet Li. Tag to that some very likeable characters and a snappy pace, and its a harmless watch. Too bad it could've been something more.

    If you dig on movies like Equilibrium, Ong-Bak and District 13, give this one a whirl.

    though the story at times is a little off, the fights are good. Knowing nothing about it I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it is a graphic novel or video game.

    If you harbour secret fantasies about James Van Der Beek as a german martial arts master, this is the movie for you. Watch with dubbing and subtitles at the same time, some parts don't make sense otherwise.
