If you enjoy Seagal or Van Damme movies of the 80s and 90s, you'll probably enjoy this movie. It has plenty of fight scenes and just enough plot to keep things interesting. I enjoyed it quite a bit, some of the fight sequences do go on a little long. The acting is good and the plot is decent. Is it high art? No, but if you turn off your brain for 2 hours you will have a good time. The main character is an Australian martial arts champion who now runs a martial arts studio. He must fight off waves of bad guys, who are also apparently really good at martial arts. The plot revolves around child traffickers, but it's really about the fight sequences.

I read a single review for this show and knew nothing about it when I decided to check it out. The show is 100% Australian, filmed in Australia with Australian actors, no Americans. I can see how some people might find the accents and the slang terms a little difficult, but if you can get passed that, the show is amazing. It's one of those shows that I'm always sad is over, I want more episodes and longer episodes, the people and characters are fantastic. I'm surprised they put it on FX, but I'm so glad they did. I'm just hopeful that it's popular enough to warrant more seasons and popular enough in the U.S. that they continue to show it over here. If you're already tuned in for the SOA spinoff, check this show out, you won't be disappointed.
