Just got done watching this movie in theaters.


Simply great action flick. All the components came together, the actors, the storyline, the directing, stunts and so forth.

It's a very martial arts kind of action movie and is similar to Ong-Bak. If you liked that movie you have to watch this one.

It is a French film so there are subtitles, I didn't mind them, actually I liked the movie in French and everyone sounded cool. It doesn't really have familiar faces, but it's still solid never the less and has some jaw dropping stuff since this isn't wire or cgi just actors doing cool stunts.

Also, if it helps with getting the wives to watch, my girlfriend kept telling me throughout the movie how hot the main two actors were....just a side note.


9/10

    Wow. The preview looked pretty good. Subtitles turn me off a little, but I'll for sure rent it. I can't see going to the theater to spend the money on something I can't even enjoy listening to as well, the English language. :D

    But that bald cop looked pretty bad to the bone. Thanks for the heads up. I enjoy renting the smaller flicks that are sometimes just as good as the blockbusters!

    Just got done renting this.

    Absolutely a must rent! The dubbing wasn't terrible.. actually got into the character's which is sometimes hard to do with dubbing. But man. What a great action flick.

    The two main guys did every stunt, which makes it that much more impressive. I won't spoil anything, but go rent it tonight!

    Terrific soundtrack, some good bass, and an all-around top-notch story. (Can I find any other adjectives to describe this?? :D) Very original, cool PQ as well.

    I will probably buy it, cause I want to see it again soon!

    Excellent recommend Chris.

    9 outta 10 here too.
