Review

The story of this movie wasn’t hard on the brain cells, nothing to think about really. Scientists kidnapped, attempted rescue, trying to stop a super weapon. Yes, that is about it. Don’t watch this movie for an intellectual challenge.

The movie is more about the action; there is fighting, explosions, some martial arts, lots of guns, and impossible feats of action. Most of the action was quite well done with exception to a couple of scenes. The blew up a lot.

Not sure if the evil super weapon made a lot of sense but it left a challenge to the good guys to destroy it before it harmed many people.

The main actors were ok, the script didn’t give them much of an acting challenge. Not sure where some of the support cast, the baddies, were from but their acting was not really up to it.

There was also some issues with the translation. I noticed the subtitles had mis-translated some of the English speaking when it had not been pronounced properly. It was quite amusing at points.
