I wasn't expecting some comedy thrown in here and there. Given the severity of the situation, its not really something you'd expect to see if the hero is out for blood. I dont mind it that much though, except that it came off too strong and obvious. It would have been better if it was subtle or done like it was unintentional. Because in that way, doesn't take the weight off the character development.
The main character was a so-so, I didn't really find him likable or whatever but I guess the actor did well enough to not suck, a lackluster script maybe?
The fight scenes were deliberately robotic and kung fu-ish. I prefer a more raw, realistic and no nonsense approach. The camera work was pretty solid though.
The plot is this movies saving grace. A bit too convenient as I feel like they gave "The Stem" too much power and ability that leaves little room for development. As a result, the story becomes weak and lacking consistency towards the end, otherwise, I would have scored it 7/10.
