This isn't a movie--this is a video game with the controller on autopilot. Banal plot with banal characters. I expect the remake will simply be called "Level 2"--the exact same movie with the bad guys carrying pistols instead of machetes. Level 3 - Uzis, Level 4 - bazookas, etc... I really lost faith in IMDB ratings with this "movie."
sharelots of Indonesian vote 10 you know, trololol
shareThis movie is supposed to be an martial arts movie. So treat it like one. Yet you guys are whining like theres no proper plot, no good dialogs,...blah blah blah.. These types of movies are pure action movies, and i dont think that less dialogs and more action makes this movie bad.
You know theres a saying, "Action speaks louder than words" LOL.
This right here, is the truth. This movie is effin phenomenal!!!!! So great! So much nice and !COOL! Action. Speaks for itsSelf, badass movie... I don't care about the plot, the characters or the dialoque.
shareThis movie is considerably better than The Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises, both of which have inexplicably high ratings on imdb despite being screenplay-writer masturbation.
A better action movie than anything produced in Hollywood in the last decade perhaps.
Couldn't agree more, the movie was bad from start to ending. Terrible actors, boring "story" and ridiculously predictable.
I love how most scenes the "bad guys" adapted to what weapon the protagonist had except for 1 scene where they had machetes and even then they did the classic "let's attack him one by one" and the fact that none of the later characters didn't even own a gun just baffles me.
One can argue that the scenes were not green-screened, but it didn't help with the fights being too long, predictable and completely and utterly boring. There was nothing in this movie worth seeing, at all.
This movie got a solid 1/10 and deserves a place in IMDb's worst movies ever made.
Let the raging of the fanboys begin!
Bitch, go watch The Notebook or some *beep* like that.
shareI find the movie pretty enjoyable. Not a movie to think much, but a good fast action flick.

I don't see how anyone could rate this much higher than a 6. It doesn't really have a plot and the some of the fight scenes aren't realistic.
IMDB Ratings - Yeah, can't go by those... Too many people who like the movie giving it a 9/10 or 10/10 rating, which is COMPLETELY ridiculous.
LOL This is, like, better than any american action/fighting movies made in last 10 years. For what it's worth, considering the budget and the land that made it.
And what i like about it is, no superstars in the movie, no dumb plastic blondes, no pumped up heavyweights, no special effects, no atomic explosions, simple story and awesome fighting scenes and everything makes sense in the context of the movie.
It's brilliant!
I enjoyed the film thoroughly. The acting is okay. Not terrible. The plot is there.
What makes this movie shine is that with its budget, we get a well paced, and an insane trill ride.
The fight scenes have by far the best choreography in cinema history. There is no doubt about it.
It excels at it.
And if you haven't seen the second one, well then your missing out.
That one is better than this one in everyway. That has a full blown plot with okay to great acting. And once again it doesn't fail to deliver a full package.
I give both movies a 10.
