The reality of this film is that a bunch of stunt people who are friends got together and made a martial arts fight film. Think Young Adult Fiction (Hunger Games, Twilight, etc.) meets Jet Lee with a dash of The Matrix.
So, fights and stunts - Good: Well choreographed. Visually entertaining. Bad: As another reviewer said, you know who's going to win. Just wait for the eyes to glow. So a little anticlimactic there. Plus digital blood splatters. I like my violence old-style please. Also, could've been a little more graphic overall. The "bad people" fighters were up to the task. Some very good work.
Hero: Great screen presence. Good facial reactions. Acting will improve with more experience. And certainly physically up to the role. Fun to watch.
Big Evil Villain: Terrible acting. Dubbing? I couldn't quite tell. Awful line readings. Really added nothing special to the proceedings.
Plot: Opaque. Obfuscated. Therefore just a stupid mechanism to have action. Could have and should have done a lot better. And the dialog? AArrgghh!!
Style: While obviously done on a very low budget, big props to the cinematography and lighting. They worked miracles with what they had.
Direction: I believe this was written and directed by the star's brother. Shame on him for the writing, but the direction was good for the resources available. Maybe the director should stick with just directing.
Overall, a lower decent effort. A short film at an hour and 17 minutes with credits. I would be inclined to watch a sequel assuming someone else wrote it, the Big Evil Villain was played by another actor, but the hero and crew was the same.
