Novice writer, director, producer, and stunt coordinator for this barely a B-film, Alan Delabie - who also cast himself as the lead, gives an outstanding display of Nunchaku kata. But that's it.
My biggest issue in this film was the indecisiveness of choosing the language; it was 50% French, and 50% English. Why? It got annoying really quick. Then there was the horrible directing and poorly cut/edited scenes. With the exception of Louis Mandylor and his minimal screen time, it's probably the worst acting I've seen in a long time, I'm sure partly due to the lack of cast direction from Delabie. The writing was all over the place with back and forth mostly useless dialogue to the nonsense long and dragged out story with barely any substance. It was riddled with plot and technical issues, with an abundance of unnecessary random scene changes. The 80 min runtime and snail pacing dragged on feeling like a 3+ hour film. Half of the choreography was decent, the other half laughable. Then there was the typical loud, constant and overbearing score right from the start that tells you this will be a B quality production. However, some of the soundtrack was awesome. This film probably rates as one of the worst I've seen, and the only reason for my generous 2/10 is all for Delabie's amazing Nunchaku kata and a few good soundtracks.
