As with most action films: forget about the plot - this one holds very little surprises and the villain is obvious from his very first scene, thus eliminating any suspense from the first 45 minutes.
But again: this is an action film, so who cares?
Actually, this is a very stylish action film, bringing some pretty neat photography and music along to boot.
It's also a rare tae kwon do mayhem-fest, so sit back and watch all those fighters leap into the air, pulling off unbelievable moves for your entertainment.
Overall: cool fights and a finale almost (repeat: ALMOST) on a par with the legendary finale of A Better Tomorrow 2.
Watch this film and - if you like martial arts action - you'll enjoy this immensely.
