It's a very gracefully shot martial arts flick with a lot of cheap sound effects, docile humor and mostly silly story but at least it's often entertaining in the midst of it's B-Movie shortcomings.

It's so much fun, the pace is relentless, and the fights are fucking insane. There's three or four in here that are among the best I've ever seen. And it gets dark as hell, and the music is great. Loved it. Though it does get a bit exhausting by the end, and the female characters are atrocious. Other than that, awesome.
