I'm a fan of violent, action and martial arts movies, and by rights, this should have ticked all of the boxes of the genres. Basketball and a mixture of muay thai as well as any other scrapping you can think of should spell fun, violence and all-round entertainment, and this would have been the case if it wasn't for the atrocious camera work. The viewpoint swings round and round the characters mid-action, to the point of blurring anything you can see, and missing the rest.

Martial arts films from different countries each have different expectations. Most American b-movies you expect to have no story line, shoddy acting, but some brutal action, with well filmed scenes. Chinese and Japanese films are stylistic, traditional and highly impressive all-round.
