      Audience Member Visually stunning sci-fi martial arts film that entertains very well. Pretty good fight scenes but its the visual effects that steals the picture. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Low-budget sci-fi about the future, and the myth that only 10% of the human brain is used. There are a few good fights among the terrible effects. Hard to believe Biao and Hung were in it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Futuristic beat-em-up set in Hong Kong. I was more impressed by the futuristic elements in this than the actual action. It comes up with some quite creative and impressive visuals and some cool little media gadgets which will probably make their way on to the market in the not too distant future. The action was a little disappointing, there wasn't enough for a start and it was too over stylized and CGI assisted. It's also quite Tekken-esque in it's look, so much so that the makers left a notice during the end credits mentioning that the film is in no way connected to the Tekken computer game series. It's entertaining enough but it tries too hard to be cool and stylish. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member this was originally going to be a tekken movie, but the problem was tht it was made without permission, so they renamed it the avenging fist Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member OK, I gave it 2.5/5 only because it's a film made in Hong Kong 8 years ago. If you compare to the films made these days, it's very bad. Plot is totally predictable, bad graphics, laughable lines. Even the fight sequences aren't that good. Not recommended. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmmm never see this movie But I think Its cool.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
