Cert: 15 cert
Story: Mei, a young girl whose memory holds a priceless numerical code, finds herself pursued by the Triads, the Russian mob, and corrupt NYC cops. Coming to her aid is an ex-cage fighter whose life was destroyed by the gangsters on Mei's trail.
Likes : Couple reason what i liked about this film is the Jason statham in it that all there is to know, i find he's acting performance in film's spot on, he always gets these role that really suit him, like these hard man type you just know if you get on the wrong side of your pay for it, Jason plays this NYC hardest cop Luke Wright that washed out after he fellow cop partners when corrupt & sold him out, he isn't where he trouble starts a fight he was supposed to throw went wrong & the money involved was from a Russian mobster, they killed he wife & threaten to kill anyone he knew or made friends with, but this is where the story starts getting interesting, after being closed off from the world he feels he had enough until a little save he life but soon find out that this little girl Mei played by Catherine Chan is want by every mobster in the city because she has this gift to see numbers. Now this film take you on a roller coaster of corruption & money laundering, gun fights,marshal arts fights & car chases.it had is moment of fast pace action which kept you interest in the film, but i feel its not one of he's best films ive seen although it was good.
Dislikes : So many problems with this film, im one for action films but the camera work on this film was terrble, the action scene could hardly be seen with the camera shaking to much you couldn't focus on the fights in the bar & in the hotel, i don't know if director's think this is cool to add as dramic effect but it ruins the film because your trying to watch a fight that shaking all over the place. Special with the car chases as well, some place there was way to much subtitles & it was slow as well your spending to much time read the subtitles than watching the film & the ending had no closure.
Overall : im a big fan of jason stathan film but this wasn't he's best, good fight scene if you could see them, but worth watching.
Rating: 3 out of 5 for film camera work, 6 out of 10 for fight scene/action
