Reviewed by: STSH Date: 04/07/2002 Summary: Doesn't hold interest This fim has all the ingredients of a not-bad chop-sockey. Smouldering looks. Really bad villains. Plenty of fighting, punching and kicking, and some of it fairly well-choreographed. But the result is rather .... dull. It might be that the apparent central character, the bandit, is kind of vaguely a baddie, but not mean enough to be a real bastard, while not being sympathetic enough for me to give a hoot about what happened to him. The film seemed to be an almost-continuous stream of meaningless punch-ups and little else. I suppose this makes it better than a really talky chop socky with little action, but I couldn't watch it more than a third of the way. Reviewer Score: 1
