This is a great action movie, watched this without looking at any reviews and glad i did, from start to finish it was pretty good acting (your not going to get Oscar level acting in a film like this), action packed and a simple but well scripted story.

I have not seen Tony Schiena in anything before, but judging solely on his acting and fight scenes in this film, I would watch a film just because his name was in the credits. Go watch this film, if you like your action films you wont be disappointed, there is some romance and adult subjects but mostly its action, action, action!

Except the chic Ivy, well no spoiler, but none of the stuff she does would ever happen in real life. Watch the movie and youll see. She officially became my dream woman lol

I don't understand what people want... always exciting stories, everything unpredictable, extraordinary actors and director... what about catering? You're ridiculous! Your score is 1/10? Who are you? The perfectionist? The eternal unsatisfied? The latter of course... nothing can satisfy you... of course not this movie that is totally far from the perfection. I enjoyed it, I like martial art, I like action, I felt satisfied after watching this movie. No, you're wrong... I'm not in the movie, I don't even know where it has been shot... I just accept what I get... today a simple salad, tomorrow smoked salmon, after tomorrow a lobster... I can enjoy all the three, but you can't, sorry for you. Of course there are some goofs, of course there are deja vues, what are you looking for? Every movie should be a colossal, 10 Oscar winner, no flaw, no imperfection... stay on the ground man... you're only a human being, not a Divine being. Stop comparing a movie with another one, it makes no sense... it's like comparing a person with another one... they are different, totally even if they look like similar. John Wick, Kill Bill? They are different and everything is different, actors, director, cameramen, everything and even the stories. For those who are more tolerant and can enjoy even simple things... if you like action, martial arts, a simple story, good acting and directing and you are not impressed by seeing blood and people killed (not few indeed), then this movie is for you...

A young boy, nicknamed Darc, witnesses his mother murdered by a Yakuza boss. Several years later and the boy is a man, and has just been released from jail. An Interpol agent organised his early release: he wants Darc to find his daughter who has been kidnapped by the same Yakuza boss. Darc now has two reasons to hunt the man down...

Mediocre. The movie had the potential to a good, gritty action-drama but misses the mark in so many respects. The plot is pretty basic, full of holes and incredibly contrived. Nothing really makes sense, except that the plot is set up to maximise the number of action scenes. Heaps of shoot-em-ups and beat-em-ups just for the hell of it, just jammed in for no rhyme or reason.

Lead performance is woeful. Nothing wrong with strong, silent types as the lead character but Tony Schiena overdoes the silent part, to the point of irritation. Quite unconvincing whenever dialogue or actual acting was required - I guess he was just there for the action scenes.

It's not all bad though. The action scenes are done well and there is a momentum and intrigue to the movie that keeps it interesting. I guess there had to be - if you had a chance to think you'd realise just how dumb the plot is...

Story line had potential. Fight sequences were well done. Otherwise, acting was mediocre and progression of story was completely boring and unrealistic. Disappointing, considering how much my mom loved Armande. C'mon people,
