“The DVD box displayed such phrases as u0026quot;There are some streets you donu0026#39;t double-crossu0026quot; and u0026quot;When war comes home, and home is the streets, you turn to… American STREETFIGHTERu0026quot;. Say that in the movie-trailer voice, and it will sound awesome. I was hoping that this would an overblown action movie, not good, but entertaining enough that I could laugh at how stupid it was. No luck.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is… mediocre. The story is mediocre, the fight scenes are mediocre, the acting is mediocre. Okay, it picks up a little during a fight at the dojo, which is enjoyably stupid- featuring a motorcycle driving through a door that is quite obviously made of styrofoam, and the one guy in the movie with a gun choosing to pistol-whip people instead of, I dunno, shooting bullets at them. Still, the whole experience is mediocre- Itu0026#39;s not bad enough to laugh at, and itu0026#39;s not good enough to enjoy. The whole thing is just boring. Two years later, Street Fighter, starring Van Damme and Raul Julia came out. At least that one you can laugh at.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd for a movie about street-fighting, there sure is a lot of time spent in the countryside…”
