About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward, high-energy revenge action movie with lots of hand-to-hand fights and a corrupt-power angle; Not for you if you need realism or subtle drama like Code of Silence.

Pros: nonstop martial-arts action; satisfying revenge drive; memorable one-liners | Cons: far-fetched recovery; thin villain build-up; uneven pacing
