Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Since her husband’s murder, martial artist Sarah has fiercely protected and trained her daughter. Will her efforts pay off when the killers return? This reminded me a lot of the direct to video martial arts action flicks I used to rent back in the late 80s that were so-so but had some fun fight scenes in them. This would qualify. The plot made little to no sense, the action scenes were fast and frenetic, but they also relied on some really cheap looking cg imagery. That and half the film looks professionally shot while they cut between scenes that look like they were taken on a cellphone or at the very least a really off camera compared to the ones used most of the time and it’s very jarring.
