Bad acting, empty script, weak fight scenes, bad editing, cheap sfx - all accompanied by an ugly soundtrack.
Hard to believe someone in 21st century would want to film this nonsense. If it was a movie from 1982 I would've accept it as it is, but it's created in 2022 and it fails to deliver the required percentage of joy.
That leading actor is well known for his fighting movies from some 15-20 years ago, but now he's old and lost his energy.
I'm watching it on cable TV and I'm glad for that, because if i was watching it on big screen I'd leave the theater somewhere after the first 15-20 minutes.
It's one of the lamest productions of this century, for sure. The Ram-bro thingy didn't worked at all.

There's no way I should've enjoyed this as much as I did, but to my surprise, this was one of the better B films I've seen in a very long time, especially comparing this to the other MJW film I saw yesterday - The Island 2023, which was atrocious and I rated that one 3/10. This was old-school action and entertainment, and fun from start to end.
I guess MJW has a hidden talent for writing, because there was actually an engaging, suspenseful and entertaining story in this film - and bonus points for some actual legit laugh out loud comedy. Fairly newb director R. Ellis Frazier certainly had many rookie mistakes in this film, but still managed to assemble an entertaining viewing. We don't get to see MJW all out kick-butt the entire time, but he still delivered on the action and thrills either with fists, kicks or guns.
Sure the story may have been a little cheesy, but it was the good expensive tasty cheese. It also had many cliches from past great films, but they were genre-mixed and used effectively. The action was well choreographed and well shot. All casting and performances were mostly convincing, and it was great to see Mandylor and Berenger do their thing. Pacing was spot-on and every scene had a purpose, so the 89 min runtime flew by, and I actually wanted more. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me, a definite recommend, and I'd have no problem seeing this again with friends.

Lots of good action to see.
Cool scenes and good acting from the cast
I liked the scenes and the intensity of the characters. I won't say any spoilers, but I was caught off guard a few times and even jumped a bit. The leads were really good. I liked the pace of the movie too because I get bored easily sometimes when watching a movie and then I fast forward a bit for other movies.....but this movie has action! There's one scene that will have you saying WOW out loud, but of course I won't give that away. I think the direction and editing were also good in this feature length film that worth watching .

It was ok for a b-movie. Quite honestly if you are hoping to see a lot of fight scenes with Michael Jai White you'll be disappointed. Limited martial arts, some cool stuff, but was hoping for much more fighting.
This was more gun play than anything else and that is not why we watch these films. MJW is very talented, but I found this film lacking. I don't think anything has surpassed Blood & Bone as far as MJW showing off his skills.
It was a cool concept, but the trailer made is look more exciting than is was, and it made the quality of the production look a little more invested than the film was. Regardless, I will always be a MJW fan, just wish he could land the right vehicle for his fighting skills (Blade?)

"Every year thousands of people leave Mexico, but there are those who go to Mexico, many do it to escape their past..." A good Mexican police action film, nothing too innovative, even a bit cliché, but it maintains a pleasant line between action and a slightly ironic humor, captivating characters, the final stretch takes a downturn, without anything new, moving towards the predictable, loses its spirit, and becomes more of the same... Average...
Bryant befriends a troubled teenager and introduces him to martial arts. As Bryant's mysterious and dangerous past catches up with him, he is forced into a life-or-death struggle to clear his name, save the boy and recover everything he left behind.
