This movie just didn't do it for me. I'm a fan of martial arts movies and loved Kung Fu Hustle and gore flicks like Bad Taste and Braindead and uberviolent fare like Ichi the Killer and The Raid 2. They at least had something akin to a plot and an attempt at character development that engaged the viewer and made you feel something towards the characters being beaten up, mangled, minced etc.
With this movie, it just felt like something thrown together over the weekend whilst the scriptwriters were on holiday. Sure there were buckets of blood (although not that often) and a couple of shocking moments (sometimes laughably so) but overall this film was an utter mess from start to finish.
