Bad acting. Directors need to put some soul in their actors, not just have them read the script. Really good realistic actions that needs major sound work, then it would be amazing. Fighting was like Young and Dangerous gone Donnie Yen. Lots of themes going on. Love, loyalty, brotherhood, etc. I don't know why they didn't release this besides the bad acting. My guess is that it depicts a social economic problem Vietnamese government is ashamed of. If you lived in Vietnam you would've seen some looney stuff, little blood doesn't scare anybody. We have a dish made with blood. I enjoyed it overall. Johnny's vietnamese is so corny omg.

This has to be the worst move I seen. This is really an embarrassment to Vietnamese entertainment industry. The casting, scripting and acting are all below amateurs level. The trailer got me exited and I was hoping this will showcase Vietnamese talents on the big screen. My hope got shader after watching 10 minutes. The acting and fighting was so bad that I could not continue. Luckily this movie did not make it to the theater in Viet Nam. I have no idea what they were thinking when making this film. They did invested a lot of money into this production and it came out really bad.

Its a great movie but as seen in Vietnam,this is a really violent movie,i was banned before even premiere.Its suppose to be Vn blockbuster of the year,but because it was banned so the movie increasingly popular in the online community,when the film is leaks everyone want to watch it In my opinion this is a great action/thriller movie for Vietnamese,its very Rarely seen a movie with investing in such action But the problem is the script is bad,too gangs fighting because of a girl ? I feel like this film is good in action,but bad in poorly script, not yet make the audience interested in the story The acting also terrible,the girl acting is a little bit fake,and i feel like she really doesn't want to act at all Anyway,the rest of the movie,i give it about 4.5,but because I'm Vietnamese so i gave it around 5.5 to 6.0

OK I think this film is excellent.

However I am lucky enough to have worked on it as senior colourist and have seen the REAL version. Unfortunately as it is currently banned no one will see it for a long time. That doesn't make me biased though, if I thought it sucked I would say so!

Nobody should watch the hideous torrents that are floating around on the internet. For starters its not the approved final edit nor has the post production been completed.

What you are all watching and reviewing is in fact a WIP copy and should be viewed as such. Remember that stupid Wolverine torrent from a few years back that was only around 60% complete? Same kinda thing.

The fight scenes for me are excellent, i watch a lot of action films and todays propensity for fast cuts and multiple angles is nothing more than a clever attempt to hide the fact that there is no real fighting being done.

The fight scenes in this movie are real and extremely well choreographed for the most part. Existing as single continuous shots (like the fighting in the apt) there is also none of the fantasy element that a lot of martial arts films have no crazy floating kicks or heavy vfx (not that they are bad things, they are just not in this film). You have to be really tight in order to make this style work and they have totally pulled it off.

On top of this the cinematography is outstanding and the directors original film is great.

Its raw and real and really really good.

Please be patient and hope that one day you will see the film the the director intended for the audience. It'll be worth the wait!

first at all you have a huge Worldwide Superstar in the film .. with credits in (Mortal Kombat) .. and so other important Hollywood action movies ... respectful man ..who did an excellent job as usual ..before Tony J ..exists Mister Jhonny Nguyen ..in all his glory!! there's no other director to do this masterpiece , is like the superman of the Thailand movies .. is a gang criminal film .. based on the internal violent confrontation so forget the acting ..there's no acting good in action .. is easy as that ...they don't do a Lego DUMBASSES movie .. no no this is serious !! the REAL DEAL !! by the way no one in this world knows so much about martial marts ..like all these actors .. they got hard training before and supper massive moves also a little bit risky ..but great results .. pushing limits forwards
