Yep, it is as awful as it sounds., 6 February 2005
Author: JesperT from Cape Town

I have nothing positive to say about this movie, even if I only watched about half of it - not that I left during the movie, but I simply keep my concentration so I had to switch channels.

And every time I switched back rating dropped another point (and as I always start at 5 it didn't take long to reach my final vote of 1).

The acting is awful - I mean seriously awful - the plot about Asian gangs in LA is so obvious it almost hurts, but even that is nothing compared to the the dialog - well, and the title as well obviously.

In the father vs. son climax at the end of the movie, the son (the "hero") says: "Oh, so is that all me and my homies mean to you - it is just business?"

I mean come on! That's would even have sounded bad in an eighties break dance movie.

All in all, I would recommend that you do not find out if I am right. It is simply not worth it. At the time when I voted only 7 others had voted for this movie. I will be eighth - let's leave it that.
