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?)

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.

What can I say? I'm a fan of Michael Jai White. He's the action star I could have a beer with. You always know what to expect in his action movies, great fight scenes. Berenger is always a great bad guy and Mandylor has a classy style about him that's always cool.
The kid was a bit stiff and unemotional but Ivan was better as the brother. The whole training the kid was a bit rushed, like how long did he train before becoming a kick ass fighter?
Overall it was a good action flick, and anytime White, Adkins, Jaa, Uwais, Chen (Donnie or Tiger), are in it, well yeah, I'm going to check it out.
Better yet, an Expendables type movie with the martial artists named and more would be great.
Anyway, back to this movie, it flowed well with the action. It was a pretty basic kind of plot, but these are all about the action and White always comes through on that.

"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...
