“I like this movie. OK, they didnu0026#39;t spend (or waste) a lot of money and the story is not u0026quot;Gone with the windu0026quot;. But inside its limits I have enjoyed it a lot. First of all, I found it very entertaining. Much more entertaining, in fact, that many Hollywood blockbusters. Second, I really think that Tony Schiena is a good actor for this kind of action stuff, this is my first time to watch him on the screen but his fine performance (cool but also human and believable) deserves my respect. I was surprised too because fighting are built into a dramatic story that makes sense for me. This is a violent film but not only a film about violence, I found more topics in it: friendship, honor, loyalty, family. If I can complain about something, it is only Bai Lingu0026#39;s waste performance. This actress deserves something better than appear only some minutes with a few lines of dialog. Watch u0026quot;Red corneru0026quot; or u0026quot;The beautiful countryu0026quot; and you will understand what I am talking about.”
