It is good to see them back on a project: basically; this Princess; Princess Halo/another character [Rachel Shane/Valerie Chow:] she is being forced to marry General Ruechang [Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa:] he needs to marry her so we can get legal and nobility power instead of just his control over his army, but she escaped and he sends his right-hand man Warchild [Dolph Lundgren:] he was saying that by the General and basically he was made into the being; he is today, so his mission is to track her down and bring her back within a week as the marriage is rescheduled for a week's time.

Generally speaking: the script, the framework and pacing of this 92 minutes film; is very straightforward as it knows what it is and it sticks to that; which is a basic action title.

Action and art; I mean the action is plenty of guns and explosions and yes we even get some choppers being used; but if you want me to point out to worthwhile action sequences; Warchild vs. another character; basically I am pretty sure you have all seen Duel from Gladiator [Physical game show;] but in this case they can walk across these little footsteps which are not high up; but high enough to stick out of this area and the first one to fall loses; this concept and layout is highly creative and imaginative; also when someone fall off we have this small mud or something to the effect splatter onto the camera a little and of course we have this high-quality action sequence between Warchild vs. General Ruechang; at the closing stages of this film.

Character developments and performances; they are all good versions of what they are meant to be; I have to be honest I think there is some form of dubbing going on in some cases; it is one of those occasions where and when you hear it or/see it, you will probably go "Okay fair enough I see your point." Lundgren and Tagawa; individually or/and together and make this film and without them it would have easily fallen on its face.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I mean if you are into your action packed film titles or/and individually or together Lundgren and/or Tagawa take a look at this film, I mean it is good to see them working together again, but my marking is a reasonable reflection on this project in its entirety.
