Quotes
Major Griggs: [Speaking unofficially to Sgt. Mitchell on John Nguyen] Army never should have let him out in the world the way they did. They treated him like surplus equipment, like a car more expensive to repair than replace.

Very poor actioner

A CERTAIN JUSTICE, aka PUNCTURE WOUNDS, is another nondescript straight-to-DVD action film starring Cung Le, who certainly impresses as a fighter. It's just a shame that this film's fight choreography is unremittingly awful, constantly cutting away from hits and adding in fake stylistics which spoil the pace and impact of the fights. I was lured by the UK DVD cover, which features a short-haired Dolph Lundgren and Vinnie Jones, but it's a cheat as both have more minor roles as bad guys. The plot is serviceable and perhaps with a bigger budget this might have been more impactful, but as it stands it's pretty disastrous.
