About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a more dramatic, family-leaning action story with a tough drifter defending ordinary people, rather than nonstop fights; Not for you if you expect wall-to-wall martial arts like Double Impact.
Pros: heartfelt family angle; solid brawling action; satisfying villain comeuppance | Cons: familiar land-grab plot; slow stretches; limited martial arts
