How sad is this?

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Now this is one of the worst films I have ever seen,its one of the worst martial arts films i've ever seen.Everything about this film sucks the acting the plot the dialogue even the martial arts choreography sucks and thats terrible for a martial arts film.Now i no what your going to say,"jackass, story isn't a big deal in a martial arts movie or any action movie its about the action and fight choreography."Yeah but thats my point the fight choreography sucks and seeing as action is a big part of a martial arts movie that is really pathetic, the entire film is unwatchable.The story isn't that bad its an excuse to just beat up hundreds of opponents, but the thing is its put together with bad acting and awful dialogue you just cant take the story seriously.The best actor in the entire film is Michael Madison (reservoir dogs,kill bill)and i cant even take him seriously,yes the actor known as the tough guy in films and i cant take him seriously.Back to the fight choreography, it sucks.Some of it doesn't even make sense,There's a part when a crippled guy with no legs on wheel chair is taken from behind by a bad guy he then just flips him over him,that doesn't make sense the guy he flipped over must have been twice his weight and with no balance on the chair seeing as hes missing his legs in theory-he should have buckled over. Look the point is this film is bad,bad for an action movie bad for a B-movie just don't bother watching this crap excuse for a martial arts movie.

this film was OK but it wasn't the greatest thing ever made.They didn't cover up the stunt double that well but the scene with the black dude with no legs that was the best part even though some of his lines were corny it was still funny.but overall its watchable.I wondering about the black guy his martial arts was good i think i heard that he was coin out it another film if that is so i would probably watch that instead of this one he seems like he is a good actor only if they would of given him better lines i think he will go far.but don't take it from me go check out some other films he was in like "ESCAPE FROM ATLANTIS" "IN GODS HANDS" he is also seen on ripley's believe it or not. check him out

Against all odds, this movie was shown on the BBC again tonight. Terrible editing, wooden acting and continuity errors make this film hard to watch. However, My husband and I laughed out loud at Madsen choking through his ridiculous lines, awkward pauses between dialogue and to top it all off the ass-kicking black man with no legs who takes on a gang of triads.The premise sounds good - the Tong are a mafia group that control China, they rescue abandoned baby girls and train them to be "Ghosts" - the perfect deadly assassins. Jing (Julie Lee) is one such ghost. her father is murdered so she is sent to LA in hiding, where she poses as a Chinese internet bride and is hunted by Chang (as Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa)- a corrupt Hong Kong police official and Dan Olinghouse ( Madsen) and his group of fumbling henchmen.This movie fails to live up to the premise, it looks cheap, is decorated by many young beautiful 'actresses' flaunting about, which is the only reason I can think of that Madsen and Dourif may have signed onto this.The main actress speaks in a low monotone and it feels like she's being fed her lines sentence by sentence. The Honk Kong cast ridiculously overacts, and the scenes there feel like an episode of a "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" - over the top villain and all.Overall, it was funny - and painfully awkward - You feel sorry for the cast.

Thank God for foreign distribution, without it, this film would not have made any money. This movie had to look good on paper, because it looked terrible on film. Bad direction, followed by terrible editing. I caught this film at 1 am on Cinemax of all places. Not that it fit the Cinemax mild porn style flick. This was a Kung Fu wanna be low budget midnight movie that only members of the cast's family would sit down and watch. All kidding aside, why was this movie made? If not for some of the B-Movie acting names that starred in this piece of garbage, I can't see any investor wanting to throw 2 cents to this film. Thank God for the foreign market, at least they had a billion Chinese people they could sell this flick to. Long story short, bad movie, except for the fighting sequences, the direction in this film was God awful. Except for Michael Madsen's average bad guy attitude, the acting was unbearable. Save you money and just buy the popcorn.
