I caught on to this movie as a couple of clips of it turned up in some youtube vids of UFC fighters reviewing movies - the fight scenes looked cool so I gave it a shot.
It's a pretty formulaic 'Avenging Angel' plot and lowish budget but the acting is fairly decent and you certainly can't fault the fight choreography. Michael Jai White pulls off some of the most incredible scenes I can recall ever seeing, almost more impressive that presumably everyone walked away uninjured from the set.
Casting Julian Sands as the whitest evil white guy stereotype complete with a white suit was brilliant. He just seems to pop up all over the place and I think has made B movies his career-long niche.
Every time Dante Basco appeared on camera I just kept thinking "Rufio, Rufio, Ru-fi-OOOO!".
Definitely worth a watch if you're into martial arts flicks.
