This one had enough assets to be better than the uneven action flick it wound up being. Several attractive women provide eye candy; a few of them kick ass in (mostly) fine style. There are plenty of evildoers with minions of henchmen to beat up and/or shoot - a reliable feature of Thai productions. The fights are gritty, without much in the way of f/x hyperbole detracting from the typically fine stunt work.
The script is rather a mess, with too much time on the star, Angie's, childhood trauma and vague, tenuous relations of past to present, and among all the key figures in the principal action. The body count is genre-worthy, but the amount of dialogue seemed excessive for the degree of coherence it contained. A handful of worthy actors were underserved by the writing and direction.
Passable, but hardly memorable, fare.
