It was ok for a b-movie. Quite honestly if you are hoping to see a lot of fight scenes with Michael Jai White you'll be disappointed. Limited martial arts, some cool stuff, but was hoping for much more fighting.
This was more gun play than anything else and that is not why we watch these films. MJW is very talented, but I found this film lacking. I don't think anything has surpassed Blood & Bone as far as MJW showing off his skills.
It was a cool concept, but the trailer made is look more exciting than is was, and it made the quality of the production look a little more invested than the film was. Regardless, I will always be a MJW fan, just wish he could land the right vehicle for his fighting skills (Blade?)

What can I say? I'm a fan of Michael Jai White. He's the action star I could have a beer with. You always know what to expect in his action movies, great fight scenes. Berenger is always a great bad guy and Mandylor has a classy style about him that's always cool.
The kid was a bit stiff and unemotional but Ivan was better as the brother. The whole training the kid was a bit rushed, like how long did he train before becoming a kick ass fighter?
Overall it was a good action flick, and anytime White, Adkins, Jaa, Uwais, Chen (Donnie or Tiger), are in it, well yeah, I'm going to check it out.
Better yet, an Expendables type movie with the martial artists named and more would be great.
Anyway, back to this movie, it flowed well with the action. It was a pretty basic kind of plot, but these are all about the action and White always comes through on that.

"Every year thousands of people leave Mexico, but there are those who go to Mexico, many do it to escape their past..." A good Mexican police action film, nothing too innovative, even a bit cliché, but it maintains a pleasant line between action and a slightly ironic humor, captivating characters, the final stretch takes a downturn, without anything new, moving towards the predictable, loses its spirit, and becomes more of the same... Average...

This movie is so amazing man Wow, wonderful movie as always by michael jai white i really enjoyed this movie its fun and entertaining and there is a lot of action in it. I like this movies who mix the fun with the action, also this legendry actor michael jai white is just in another level love this dude so much i just love every movie that he act in. Also this video is really as good as dead nice title for the movie name, for me i hope there is another part next year or this year this movie deserve a spot, maybe not everybody will agree with me but i think this movie is good for watching especially when Michael Jai White is in it.
Bad acting, empty script, weak fight scenes, bad editing, cheap sfx - all accompanied by an ugly soundtrack.
Hard to believe someone in 21st century would want to film this nonsense. If it was a movie from 1982 I would've accept it as it is, but it's created in 2022 and it fails to deliver the required percentage of joy.
That leading actor is well known for his fighting movies from some 15-20 years ago, but now he's old and lost his energy.
I'm watching it on cable TV and I'm glad for that, because if i was watching it on big screen I'd leave the theater somewhere after the first 15-20 minutes.
It's one of the lamest productions of this century, for sure. The Ram-bro thingy didn't worked at all.
