Darc

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...

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

...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.

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,

Good action movie. Story is usual as revenge by boy whose mother was killed by the boss of human trafficking business. Revenge taker is young boy, Darc. Best thing about this movie is presentation. Start to finish story has not a single moment of boring. You will quietly attached with on whole 97 minutes. Plot is going straight. Must watch.
