Average (at best) CGI, acting, script, and dialog. There are a few decent scenes but only finished watching it because I was invested enough to see how it ends (and I like Sam Neill).

One scene epitomizes the quality and logic of the movie ... the protagonist runs to and escapes in an ambulance (the scene leading to this is equally poorly done). As he is running there are at least 15 trained gunmen with automatic weapons shooting as he stops at the door of the ambulance yelling at the drive to get out, then opens the door and pulls him out. And of course nobody hits him.

As he drives off there are now at least 25 people shooting at him with automatic weapons, heavy arms, and pistols from all directions - including a trained assassin who is an expert marksman. This is a thin walled ambulance with large windows all around the driver that is hit by hundreds of rounds. Yet not a single one even comes close to hitting him, one of the oxygen tanks, or any of the other flammable items on the ambulance.

This continues as 6 or 7 vehicles chase the ambulance while continuing to fire. And they must be really bad shots because the number of holes appearing in the ambulance is only a small percentage of the number of shots fired.

While were at it - didn't anyone at all during all of this think to shoot at one of the tires?

This review is for BRUCE'S DEADLY KUNG FU aka BRUCE LEE'S SECRET. This is the one where he is a waiter at the beginning of the movies, 3 guys at a table hassle him and another employee, he pours lots of pepper on thier chicken, and a fight breaks out.

The movie is cheesy, the fight scenes mediocre, and the acting is poor. Add in many annoying characters such as the woman who owns the restaurant, the children of the shipyard owner, a very whiney kid, and buffoonish rivals and the film just drags on.

If you are looking for a biopic this is not it. No accurate information about Bruce Lee. It is basically a play on his name to sell a bad movie.

Fun, low budget noir that clocks in at just slightly over an hour. Typical suburban based noir where one bad decision leads to another which leads to trouble

Competent acting, a mellow but competent script with a number of plot twists is hampered only slightly by pedestrian cinematography and lighting. Given the short running time, they wrapped the story up neatly and squeezed it all in to make this an easy watch. The plot includes murder, suicide, implied corporate greed, insurance fraud, tough cops, a tough broad, a loving husband/father caught up in the mess, and all the typical characters.
