Member MLee Posted April 18, 2009 Member Share Posted April 18, 2009 A decent movie. Action had some nice moments but the editing and quick angle changes were annoying. Especially during the fight when both the male leads were facing 2 expert kickers each. Kept switching between both of them fighting even before any moves connected which was confusing to keep up with! Hated the soft sound effects with the fights. I suppose for a korean martial arts movie made recently it's better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BaronK Posted April 19, 2009 Member Share Posted April 19, 2009 "Hated the soft sound effects with the fights" It's what they do now a days(like CTHD). They want more realism in their foley. It hurts pictures imo. People throwing as hard as they can, spinning, bashing, growling, bleeding and the sound is a light, poof. Wtf!? Rather than really get into what I'm seeing, I'm taken aback by the light in the ass soundfx. Wackness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MLee Posted April 19, 2009 Member Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yeah I agree with you BaronK! Really makes the fights look kind of weak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Milkyway Posted July 11, 2009 Member Share Posted July 11, 2009 The movie was decent at best but I liked what I saw action-wise (minus the huge gang fight, looked too out of place and overdramatized). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Mark of the Dragon Posted November 16, 2009 Member Share Posted November 16, 2009 JDH's fight choreography was incredible in the film, and the camera work was solid. Of course, the premise was somewhat shallow, and the overall scale of some fights was downright ridiculous. Still highly enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member niro Posted April 16, 2010 Member Share Posted April 16, 2010 Was a decent watch, didnt get bored which is important, but overall I was kinda disappointed by it (although cant complain at price of £3 lol). It had good kicks in it which are my favourite in martial arts films but you could tell with a lot of the moves in the starting frames that they would never land (by quite a long way too) and obviously change the camera angle to give impression the kick has landed. IMO i thought it was poorly done. The mass teenage gang attack on the 2 main guys was kinda pointless and overdone, it was too unrealistic. But a kool thing about that was one of the gangs was a straight copy of a gang in the American film called "Warriors" of 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
