Slightly insane, often awesome and well worth seeing if that's your kind of thing.

Right okay back today and in a much better mood :giggle:


Agree 100% with the choreography and definitely one for the martial art movie fan ;)

still thought as an action film itself it wasn't up to much, little character development actually found at the beginning i was intrigued to know the story behind the Lieutenant and Tama and also Rama's story too because it was mildy intimated early on there was a little more to him however 40 minutes in i just didn't care anymore!


there was a half hearted round of applause in Glasgow but just because the fight scene had finally ended the whole film for me was like Diversity on Ecstacy certainly would not p*y to see it, action movies are my favorite genre ie Die Hard, Death Wish Rambo and well i could list them all night this film doesn't even come close to any of them not even slightly (in my opinion)

The good of this film is about action but the best of it is that it's ending!
The story is not to great. Sound effects similar to Kung Fu movies from 80's.
Fights are sometimes just ridiculous.

Do anyone know the age rating for this film?
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face?"


A pony walks into the bar and whispers, "I'll have a beer, please." The barkeeper asks, "Why are you whispering?".
"I'm a little hoarse."
