Ratings and reviews

That action stance with the two guns and the legs...looks like a poster shot right out of a action/comedy Will Ferrell movie. Worth the watch though. Action!

Excellent movie, particularly for the apparently small budget. Michael Jai White displays Martial arts skills that presents a realism more often seen in big budget productions. His pistol skills are equally impressive. Michael Jai is single handedly changing the image of African American males in lead roles. No dresses, no thugs, no bad cop and most importantly no freaks, just straight up beat downs.

If your looking for straight forward action then this movie has it. Michael Jai White definitely does his thing. Action packed!
