Two-fisted Norris again as ex-soldier and casino security chief pitting Asian villains
4 June 2007 | by See all my reviews

Our hero Norris, one man army , now as a Hong Kong Casino security bodyguard taking on bullies when are brutally killed his chief ( David Opatoshu ) and son . He attempts to save the chief's daughter ( Camila Griggs ) from the clutches an evil mobster ( Michael Cavanaugh ) . Tough Norris battling Chinese triads with the only help his lovely fiancée ( Mary Louise Weller ) and confronts a sinister baddie like a human tank . For a little more entertainment , the human weapon Norris saves the girl and struggles some hired killers and criminal gangs.

This is a slang-bang , unstopped action film with variety martial acts though predictable . Indestructible Norris in yet another groan and grunt middling budget movie ; a routine non-sense , action-thriller . Norris stars naturally taking on multiple opponents , cleaning up nasties from Far Orient and beats them ,punches ,knocks ,kicks and defying the gravity with bounds and leaps . Norris plays nicely an ex-Vietnam vet ( like Colonel Braddock from Missing in action ) turned security chief . Appears uncredited, almost extra , his true son Mike Norris , besides as expert stunt , his brother and future director , Aaron Norris . Light-weight amusement with suspense , thriller and too much used Chop-Socky formula , leave no cliché untouched though fights are well staged . The movie belongs Norris's early period , during the 80s , such as ¨Goods guys wear black , Octagon , Force of one , Eye for eye , and Code of silence ¨ with successful box office as video rentals as theaters . In the late 90s and 2000s , with exception Walker Texas Ranger , Norris stars has declined. The motion picture is professionally directed by James Fargo who directed two Clint Eastwood vehicles ( The enforcer , Every which way but loose ). This movie is a must see if you're a die-hard Norris fan.
