Audience Member Lo peor que he visto en mucho tiempo, una historia en la que uno no se entera de nada unas actuaciones ramplonas, escenas de acción mal logradas, en general una total ausencia de dirección. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review jesse d Weak...horrible lighting, poor storyline, low budget. just all around bad directing. They recycled the same sound effect for every hit regardless if it was a punch to the face or an elbow to the ribs, it was always the same thud. All the sound FX seemed like they were obviously added in post. This movie tried so hard to be dramatic, but it just came off as ridiculous. A sob story that just comes off as pathetic. Theres nothing convincing about this movie, the cam is all over the place waving around like a disoriented bird. Cant believe they used the kid from TMNT 2 and Surf Ninjas as the lead. What is this 1993 ? Cmon.. All the fight scenes were worthless except for the very last 1 which they pulled out all the stops.Just about everything imaginable happens. Some1 even gets hit with a wooden chair. Worst fight movie I've ever seen. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The Worst Movie Ever!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I've never seen a movie where the music outsucks to this degree. It actively sabotaged the movie! James Petersen, I hate you and will actively avoid movie you do music for. Ernie Reyes Jr is the man. But he needs acting lessons and a movie that doesn't feel like it was made by high schoolers.
