this movie isn't that good... after skimming through the boards and the reviews I concluded the high ratings consist of votes of fanboys and nationalists
was the action good in the movie? sure was the rest any good? no...
The action in the movie is precisely what has driven the ratings as high as they are. It's a super low budget film showcasing it's fight scenes, fight choreography, and fight cinematography. If you were looking to get anything else out of the movie I can see why you may have been disappointed. I'm no fanboy or nationalist, and I thought it was fantastic.
The second movie has equally as impressive action scenes but also focuses more on storyline and character development. If that's what your looking for I'd give the sequel a shot if you haven't already.
