Viewing Notes

If you didn’t know the director you wouldn’t guess the director. Very run of the mill DTV sorta action thriller. Not surprised Woo returned to HK to do his own thing again. This is fangless and flat. Has the potential to be better but nope. Giving it a bump for Lundgren bc he’s good.

Casting Saul Rubinek as his eyepatched assistant with the weird accent was a choice. At least it was something different. Oh the beauty show at the end is really dumb.
