Confused plot, standard fight scenes poorly acted tell me whne to stop.

They have smooth gimballing cameras, they have steady shots of close ups, they have the ability. Yet they chose to wiggle the frame about as if it tells us _just_ _how_ _real_ the dialog or action is.

Great potential, poor execution.

No one seems to think it's eerily inhuman when the protagonist fails to succumb to what should have been fatal blows. Instead, they remain, unfazed by sorcerous and eldritch powers to continue fighting. "Hey, I just unloaded a full magazine of .357 into the chest of my opponent, I can see the holes and blood in his chest, but I think once my gun is empty I'll step up and punch him, my fist being superior to a half rounds of 357 mag." Next villain, "I just saw my gang buddy unload his gun into this guy, then punch him, then get killed. I guess I'll step up.an punch him, too."

The stars come because the protagonist is a fine looking male specimen.

The film was quite boring almost unwatchable. At the same time, fighting scenes were kind of good and I didn't notice that it was a low-budget film in those scenes. As some of the viewers mentioned this film had great potential and I don't mind the quality and characters but it really needs to have a better story. When friends of the main character were killed I felt nothing because they were fake and unremarkable in a sense that the main character didn't care too much about their fate. The mysterious man that granted the powers to the character, who is that? What is his interest? So... No story even the main threads of the film were not elaborated enough... But good try.

Unfortunately, it missed the mark. The story premise isn't bad at all. But the overacting doesn't help it. If you like action you might enjoy it. I didn't enjoy it enough to recommend.

As a B movie it's 8/10. It could have been much better, feeling like a movie made in the 90s. The premise drew me in, the storyline is ok, but the casting and set is below par for an A movie.
