This movie signed up and involved the most current top-tier martial arts fighters/actors, but the half-baked screenplay and scenarios simply wasted all of these action guys. The worst spoof of this movie was when the bad guys mistakenly attacked the TV station, the rich woman who was interviewed wearing a pairs of silver light gilded 4" stiletto high heel shoes, but when she escaped and running for her life, her shoes miraculously changed into a pairs of black low-heel shoes for her easier running scene. What a horrible cheat shot that treated the viewers like blind mice.
Then another ridiculous thing was the female bodyguard who was assigned to protect the rich woman stupidly had a waist-long hairs. Unless her long hairs were some lethal secret weapon, wearing such long hairs to play a critical bodyguard was just too ridiculous; her long hairs would increase her fatality 100% more.
This is a quite mediocre and almost messy movie that just looked so similar to Steven Seagal's lousy movie franchise. Since the major investors of this movie were Chinese, so the screenplay got to have some Chinese actors in it, but most of the Chinese actors were not good enough, they all looked rigid and raw. I don't know if that rich woman actor is a Chinese or not, but she really sucks, man.
Something told me that the Indonesian movie industry is trying very hard to join the international martial arts movies, or maybe the movies done in this country would enjoy tax exemption a lot, and no actors unions asking outrageous benefits like what Hollywood's regulations. The Chinese investors are relocating their interests from Thailand to Indonesia now, 'cause we've seen lot of action movies were done in this new territory. Where's the next? Viet Nam, maybe?
