Yeah this was a pretty awesome flick (though I didn't see it sober). I don't think I've ever seen a martial arts scene where every move was so lethal as the one towards the end of this film. It's pretty damned gritty and violent, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for an action or martial arts film. If you roll your eyes at the plot summary involving protecting a kid, don't worry, that doesn't make up much of the screen time and the situation isn't nearly as saccharin as you might imagine.
