Oh No!
Boring

by JimJabu

This is billed as an action film and the action sequences are about as exciting as a back yard barbeque. No style whatsoever. Sometimes they are so bad they are comical. The acting is OK but the plot...

Must Go!
Incredible!!

by C Hojo

A great plot accompanied by great acting! Sasha Grey is a prime example of how the will to change is easy when switching industries. Plus, she's hot!...

It isn't a great movie, but it looks terrific and makes me look forward to the next film by its director, David Ren. He has a good eye. Read full review
