    "O...K...." Cheesy Action Flick

    I will admit, this was actually "moderately" entertaining for a cheesy action flick... but straight up 10/10 star?? cough cough... have to be kidding right...

    The majority of the acting is just barely passable... Expect heavy use of CGI for muzzle flashes / blood splatter / explosions... Surprisingly, a couple of the fight scenes looked fairly well choreographed...

    All in all though, this is like a cheap version of the Expendables or something with even more lunacy filled action scenes...

    My suggestion... if you've watched every B-rate 80s and 90s action flicks already... hey, go for it... Just don't set your sights too high... Cause this is pretty bad... ( I'm still giving 4 stars, since I suspect this movie was done on a pretty tight budget... and the CGI was actually not "awful"... )

    uuuuhhhhh ....

    I couldnt get past the bad acting after the first 2 minutes, the women holds the sniper rifle like a purse and she is so cross eyed u wonder how she even can see the scope, think she should have used sun glasses like the other guy. She was not trained to hold ur use any gun cause it just gets worse, she goes from a 50 cal sniper to a 9 mil handgun and starts killing the same targets, lol ? Cudos to you if you think this has a 5 star rating, guess we are from different planets, but this barely scrapes by with a B-rating

    Fake reviews. This has to be one of the worst movies ever created.

    Previous 10/10 reviews are either a joke or fake. This has to be the worst movie ever created. I don't even think they shot the guns with actual ammunition, the bullet casings ejected out of the guns were done by CG. It also looks like the movie was shot with kit lenses on whatever is the current Canon Rebel on the market with whatever interior lighting that came with the houses they rented for this abomination of a movie.

    Glad to see Mel Novak is still going strong!

    Being in some of my favorite 70's & 80's martial arts flicks (Game Of Death, Black Belt Jones, Eye For An Eye) I'm glad to see Mel Novak is still going strong! This movie is a fun action flick.

    Lame

    Couldn't get through first 5 minutes. Bad action, bad acting, bad effects. They were shooting in the opposite direction of people and killing them. No idea why this is getting 10 star ratings.

      The charter aircraft flying into LAX with the Japanese Yakuza is totally different from the one from which they disembark. Aircraft model types and registration differ greatly.
