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 .

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.

Up front, I am a fan of Michael Jai White, I like his martial arts. However, if you are looking for a film full of his martial arts this is not the movie for you. I enjoyed this movie because of a story-line, comedy, romance, and action all the way through the movie. A good and enjoyable movie.
I like the fact that it had a short leadup while providing enough background to understand the story. The interaction between the older brother and Bryant made for a comedic turn to the story, while continuing action part of the story.
Overall a enjoyable evening watching this movie, more like this with Michael Jai White would be great.

If I'm writing a review for Michael Jai White, it's probably skewed on the bias side just a little bit. I can still be fair, but when I see Michael Jai White's name, I automatically click on it. Other than a couple of, Why did I get married projects with Tyler Perry, most of his movies are good action flicks. You can usually count on good martial arts, Gunplay, maybe a couple of car chases, and a decent plot line. They don't have the big Hollywood budgets that other things do, but they're usually a good watch and this one was exactly that. This included a new style of martial arts that I've never seen, that was pretty cool. It included a lot of Gunplay couple of really cool cars and a decent plot. So pop the popcorn grab the significant other and sit down and check out, As good as dead. Nuff Said Mike Out.
Always been a fan of MJW. I had multiple opportunities to hang out with him and his wonderful wife. They are great people and I would support them on any project that they do in the future. I have worked with many actors in my extensive career and he stands out as one of the nicest, most modest, and humble people to date.
I look forward to seeing a sequel to this film if/when it's in the works. Hopefully I can participate in the production of the project and get to see the movie magic first hand.
The movie plays very well with lots of action, as MJW does best. Overall a very solid film. Hope you enjoy it as I have.
