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.

If I'm writing a review for Michael Jai White, it's probably skewed on the bias side just a little bit. I can still be fair, but when I see Michael Jai White's name, I automatically click on it. Other than a couple of, Why did I get married projects with Tyler Perry, most of his movies are good action flicks. You can usually count on good martial arts, Gunplay, maybe a couple of car chases, and a decent plot line. They don't have the big Hollywood budgets that other things do, but they're usually a good watch and this one was exactly that. This included a new style of martial arts that I've never seen, that was pretty cool. It included a lot of Gunplay couple of really cool cars and a decent plot. So pop the popcorn grab the significant other and sit down and check out, As good as dead. Nuff Said Mike Out.
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?)

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.
Always been a fan of MJW. I had multiple opportunities to hang out with him and his wonderful wife. They are great people and I would support them on any project that they do in the future. I have worked with many actors in my extensive career and he stands out as one of the nicest, most modest, and humble people to date.
I look forward to seeing a sequel to this film if/when it's in the works. Hopefully I can participate in the production of the project and get to see the movie magic first hand.
The movie plays very well with lots of action, as MJW does best. Overall a very solid film. Hope you enjoy it as I have.
