This is an above average prequel, with a good enough pace and good performances. It has a few shocking moments, and all the characters were pretty cool, plus Soon-Tek Oh is extremely menacing as the main villain. Chuck was somewhat bland at times in this, however, this was a challenging role, and for the most part he was up to the challenge as were the rest of the cast. It had a few dull moments here and there, and the characterizations could have been a bit better, however it's helped by a good enough, pace, good performances, and for the most part unpredictable. The finale is pretty exciting, and the story is kind of engaging, however it could have been a lot better, plus Chuck seemed to be a little bored in places. This is an above average prequel that's well worth a watch!. The Direction is good. Lance Hool does a good job, here with good camera work, good angles, nothing overly fancy but he got the job done, plus he kept the film at a good pace. There is a little bit of violence. We get quite a few bloody gunshot wounds, a couple gory impaling's, and a gory wound. The Acting is very good. Chuck Norris for the most part was fantastic as always, and really did good with some of his emotional scenes, however he looked bored at times, and as a result was kinda bland, however he kicks that ass, and for the most part was tons of fun to watch! (Norris rules!). Soon-Tek Oh is fantastic as the main villain, he is extremely menacing, evil, and was very interesting to watch, as he was so unpredictable!. Steven Williams does pretty good with what he had to do i liked him. Cosie Costa and John Wesley are both good with what they had to do. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall well worth a watch!. *** out of 5
