Dooods messed with the wrong guy's brother. Pretty good revenge action thriller with a bit of a sci-fi twist. Didn't care much for the story, but I loved the action. Sort of how I felt about Taken when that came out. If you liked that, you'll definitely love this movie. Non-stop action and violence until one man gets what he's looking for.

REVENGE & NON-STOP ACTION.
Lots of action!
This is so different than their last film. I am more of a drama and documentary fan. But I ran out of things to watch on Netflix. Haha. If you like action this is definitely the movie for you!
One of the worst films of the year
Newb filmmakers and siblings Ken and Livi Zheng produced, directed, wrote and choreographed this film, with Ken also starring - which was his biggest mistake. Ken should've taken some acting classes for starters, because he was horrible as an actor, let alone the lead. Expressionless, emotionless and monotonic. The action fights were bland, too long, ridiculous, with only a few "oh, cool move" moments. The story tried to be unique, by mixing The Mentalist meets Jackie Chan. It's not original, but it could've been much better had the Zhengs at least consulted an experienced filmmaker for some writing edits. There were many plot and technical issues. The directing was adequate for newb filmmaking with some decent shots and cinematography. The casting was bland and poorly performed - I'm sure in part the failure by the Zhengs to direct their cast properly. Only seasoned actor Keith David delivered anything convincing, because I'm sure he doesn't need casting direction. The score was decent for the most part, with some loud, overbearing and annoying moments. The fairly decently paced 80 min runtime did feel longer with the constant, long and for the most part unnecessary fight scenes, and don't get me started how ridiculous they were. Overall, it's at best a "high school drama class production" feel to a B-grade action flick. If you decide to watch it, just fast-forwards all the fight scenes, they drag out and are boring.
