    Amazing real and full of soul!

    Just take this movie for full value no hidden messages no lies action pure as it used to be with soul.

    Don't judge this movie when you thought Barbie was a great movie. (It wasn't). A real action movie with story akd a method(man).

    Unless Ur bon before the 80s and really got what movies should be don't judge.

    Mr. White thx for the soul the action thevanrtial arts. A tine warp to better days for action movies!

    Too Much Trouble for one Man

    Trying to star in and direct has left its mark. Its not easy to be in the directors chair as Michael Jai White has found out.

    The plot offers a few twists but is simple enough. The fight scenes hold the movie together and are well done but the acting is weak and exaggerated throughout. A director with more experience would have fixed a lot of the problems. It was a good try but just not good enough.

    Mildly cheesy but watchable

    This was a watchable film because it's in the category of "A LOW DOWN DIRTY SHAME", "I'M GON GET YOU SUCKA" and "HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE" which those movies i enjoyed! Action and comedy rolled into one with a strong comparison with the other 3 movies i mentioned. Not to mention the Kung Fu was decent!!!!!

    Not what I expected

    Ok, I have much respect for Michael Jai White and I've seen most of the movies he acts in.

    This one is obvious that is very low budget. Acting is not good, fighting choreographies are well designed, but effects and direction are bad.

    Script is so very cliche, you've seen variations of this movie before hundreds of times.

    I'll be brutally honest, I've seen better green screen and effects from youtubers with zero budget.

    Blaxpoitation, but even sillier

    This is supposed to be part homage, part action flick, part parody. And it is. In a way, it's very entertaining. In another way, it's a very silly film, badly acted and very low budget. I think it went for the wink-wink and the "so bad is good" vibe, but it did not get to that point where I could thoroughly enjoy it.

    Michael J White had the presence and the action skills, but you could see that most people there were not even actors. And some people there were extremely good martial artists, but they just didn't get to shine. OK, I get it, you want to make a film with your friends. That's cool. But then the film is only a success if you can make your friends shine. And this film didn't do that.

    • Trivia
      Method Man's character is asked what he did before his current life and he proclaims he was "part of a boy band". This is a tongue in cheek reference to him being part of the WU-TANG CLAN!

      This movie has great jokes.
