There's truly little redeeming about Insight, as the film leaves only a faint lingering impression - mainly indifference. Go to Full Review

Weak story in violent action flick; drinking, language. Go to Full Review

It's a showcase for Zheng, and not an especially memorable one, so let's hope for future endeavors, he decides to go bonkers with his work as a hero, which would immediately make him more interesting. Go to Full Review

Zach R 07/13/2024 This film was hard to watch. The good action couldn’t stop me from seeing the terrible acting. See more 04/19/2021 Terrible acting and choreography. Not a unique plot as well. It wasn't the worst though. If the fight scenes were better and acting as well, I would have rated this as decent. See more 03/25/2021 Overall great action! Story is a little lacking, but the action makes up for it. I mean who really watches action movies for the stories??? I just want to see some ass kicking! See more 03/21/2021 Poor plot, OK acting, disappointing movie. See more harris r 03/14/2021 Newb filmmakers and siblings Ken and Livi Zheng produced, directed, wrote and choreographed this film, with Ken also starring - which was his biggest mistake. Ken should've taken some acting classes for starters, because he was horrible as an actor, let alone the lead. Expressionless, emotionless and monotonic. The action fights were bland, too long, ridiculous, with only a few "oh, cool move" moments. The story tried to be unique, by mixing The Mentalist meets Jackie Chan. It's not original, but it could've been much better had the Zhengs at least consulted an experienced filmmaker for some writing edits. There were many plot and technical issues. The directing was adequate for newb filmmaking with some decent shots and cinematography. The casting was bland and poorly performed - I'm sure in part the failure by the Zhengs to direct their cast properly. Only seasoned actor Keith David delivered anything convincing, because I'm sure he doesn't need casting direction. The score was decent for the most part, with some loud, overbearing and annoying moments. The fairly decently paced 80 min runtime did feel longer with the constant, long and for the most part unnecessary fight scenes, and don't get me started how ridiculous they were. Overall, it's at best a "high school drama class production" feel to a B-grade action flick. If you decide to watch it, just fast-forwards all the fight scenes, they drag out and are boring.
