Warning:
there is flashing effects/colourful effects/white supremacy/white supremacy
salute/swastika/racism/racist violence/domestic terrorism/vehicle hit/vehicle
crash/men on woman violence/sexual
assault/shooting/stabbing/impaling/burning/choking/reference to immigration. I
should just point out that I had no idea what this film was about and I just
wanted to finish off this franchise and that was my only motivation really for
watching this movie.
Come into town: briefly; Tommy Lee [one of the Producer/Director: Phillip
Rhee:] he comes to visit his family, which coincides days after this racially
motivated murder of a African-American Rev by this white supremacy group.
Generally speaking: the storyline/script is focused on white supremacy and
everything which surrounds that, the framework and pacing of this 90 minutes
film is fundamentally sound, but then again it is being heavily weighed down by
the contents of the script.
Action,
comedy and art; now it depends if you have watched many action/martial arts
films or not, but if you have you will be very familiar with this outlay of
martial arts infused with some kind of comedy level; such as one example here;
we have Lee put foot to posterior whilst he is loosely dressed as a clown and
on top of that we have some really explosive sequence of events, including Lee
running away from this explosion; where the green-screen effects look okay, but
for experienced people/viewers it is looking a bit old by the standards of
today; but by and large these components or/and elements are a consistent
positive throughout this project.
Character
developments and performances; on both counts they are fit for purpose, I can't
really say much more than that really, they are not poor, they are the next
level from being generic, which as I have already indicated is fit for purpose;
so how to put this nicely; we have a very strong and powerful and unpleasant
cultural divide and the performances reflect what they are meant to put across
to the audience.
This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; for whatever positives this
film may have which on a quick side note are few and far between, there is no
way in hell I am going to overlook the strong and more or less ever presents
component of white supremacy in this manner, unless a movie is like American
History X 1998: where there is real substance and not something that strongly
resembles the equivalent of an after-school special.
