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...

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

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,

Saw this on a dvd. The trailer was amazing n the film a solid action packed entertainment. The plot is from the 80's. This is the director's first film as a director. Most of the Steven Seagal's 90's film's were produced by this director. So obviously a lottuva cliches n of course the one man take down the whole nasty business. This film has plenty of hand fights, gun shot sequences n some amazing sword fight too. Basically a yakuza film without the katana n tattoos would look fugazi. The male lead lacked the muscles n was a bit unconvincing cos the film never showed how he learnt sword fighting or hand combat. I found the actress Dawn Olivieri attractive. Will be watching Traffik only cos of her.

...then I'd recommend you to watch this one, too. It's like John Wick on a budget, but not a really tight one, just on a budget. The lead actor will surprise you, I never saw him perform before and was expecting a cardboard cutout, Disney attraction animatronic quality perfomance, but ended up nailing everything perfectly. Famous actor Armand Assante also pulls a great performance despite the fact that he doesn't have a lot of screen time. The rest of the cast seem to have done what they were requested just as well, too.

Down-to-earth action sequences without ballet-alike martial art choreographies or 10-minute long duels, isn't shy with blood & gore whenever they should be there, gritty script-called events, and barely no time, if any at all, wasted on useless, boring, car chases.

Simple plot, but well carried. Pacing is good.

Bottom line, this movie aims to entertain and hits the bullseye. If you're into action movies, this one's for you hands down.
