Review Time

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.
