Insight

Terrible acting and choreography. Not a unique plot as well. It wasn't the worst though. If the fight scenes were better and acting as well, I would have rated this as decent.

Overall great action! Story is a little lacking, but the action makes up for it. I mean who really watches action movies for the stories??? I just want to see some ass kicking!

Poor plot, OK acting, disappointing movie.

Newb filmmakers and siblings Ken and Livi Zheng produced, directed, wrote and choreographed this film, with Ken also starring - which was his biggest mistake. Ken should've taken some acting classes for starters, because he was horrible as an actor, let alone the lead. Expressionless, emotionless and monotonic. The action fights were bland, too long, ridiculous, with only a few "oh, cool move" moments. The story tried to be unique, by mixing The Mentalist meets Jackie Chan. It's not original, but it could've been much better had the Zhengs at least consulted an experienced filmmaker for some writing edits. There were many plot and technical issues. The directing was adequate for newb filmmaking with some decent shots and cinematography. The casting was bland and poorly performed - I'm sure in part the failure by the Zhengs to direct their cast properly. Only seasoned actor Keith David delivered anything convincing, because I'm sure he doesn't need casting direction. The score was decent for the most part, with some loud, overbearing and annoying moments. The fairly decently paced 80 min runtime did feel longer with the constant, long and for the most part unnecessary fight scenes, and don't get me started how ridiculous they were. Overall, it's at best a "high school drama class production" feel to a B-grade action flick. If you decide to watch it, just fast-forwards all the fight scenes, they drag out and are boring.

John Savage and Keith David is great!! I really enjoyed this film!

Love love the fight sequences!! Good job Sean and Ken!!

Great to see this film directed by female Asian director. Recently I also saw Nomadland, another female Asian director film! Keep up the awesome work. Love love your courage to be in the film industry!

This is totally different than her last film. But I still like it. It's kinda cool to see the director explore directing different genre.

A review I read gave this movie a TOP score; “through and through an action movie”. I agree with that. This movie IS action packed, no doubt. The plot is easy to follow, but the acting SUCKS overall. That being said, it’s not a total dud and will entertain if you are looking for a straight-up action flick.

Great movie with riveting action and storyline!!!
