After "The Rebel" one would expect a movie starring Johnny Nguyen would
at least offer the same experience action wise. Sadly somehow they
found it necessary to put in focus on drama. While sometimes it does
help intensify the action, in this case it doesn't help at all. It even
distracts from it. Some directors have no clue what is important. Being
pretentious with a story this bad is never a good idea. All this would
not matter if the action sequences were up to par of those in "The
Rebel". Sure there were some nice moves by the main characters but
rarely were they exciting enough to be interesting. There is a joke in
the movie about this being like a Hong Kong movie. While I admire their
spirit and ambition in no way comes it even close to that. They wish!
