Pretty good if you fast forward to fight scenes

A former detective gets sentenced to a prison island so that he can confront the man who killed his family and basically the entire island ends up dead.Most of the points for this movie come from a few minutes worth of the film. In particular a couple of fight scenes, one of which included a fatality that I have never seen before, which always warrants some extra points. The non-fight scenes aren't really very good. There is a group of buffoons that I think are supposed to be funny, but it really didn't work for me, though, that it might be that it was just lost in translation. Overall, the story doesn't really make sense. The locations were good.So being a martial arts movie, the fights are really all that matters. I did very much appreciate some of the full scene, long take action sequences. It is always nice to see compared to many of the closeup, shaky cam scenes you often get these days. Also, the actors are legitimate martial artists and it felt like there were some real impacts taking place. Unfortunately, most of the fight scenes were very one-sided and consisted mostly of dudes kind of waiting around to be hit. The exception was the two boss fights, which were excellent. Still, the action sequences were entertaining and makes it worth a watch. You wouldn't miss much if you skipped to the fight scenes.

I'm conflicted...

On the one end, i really enjoyed the action, but on the other end, the acting, plot, story, and characters were just dull.But... I couldn't tell if this movie was attempting to be a comedy, or an action flick? The jokes in the movie fell flat for me... The spattering of English dialogue was really weird, the whole side story with the mother and daughter was pointless at best, and didn't add anything to the movie or the story.A lot of the characters were just weird and irrational. So I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to take this film seriously or if it's trying to be silly.But, with that all being said, if you want a pointless action flick with good fighting in it. I'd definitely say give it a go, the fight scenes make it worth the watch.
