After the total disaster whose name was "Capital Punishment", you would think that Gary Daniels would actually try to make a better movie this time around. But no! This is nearly as bad. The only thing that's better here is the story atlest what sense you can possibly make of it. Although it was really bad, it still was progress from the total lack of plot in "Capital Punishment". Here, you could at least understand what was going on some of the time. This movie has major continuity problems. Filled with bad acting, set designs are just bad, bad and more bad. Anyway, when a martial arts movie has a bad story, (as they usually do), you tend focus on the fight scenes. And there are lots and lots of them in this one, but unfortunately they're all just god awful and most don't even make sense. It had been better if they had come up with atlest ONE decent fight instead of about 20 extremely bad ones, but I guess the people behind this movie thought that quantity was the key. In my opinon Gary Daniels who is a really bad actor, should not be allowed to chorograph fight scenes in any movie. Besides being a total dragfest, the movie is overall BAD!
