1.Gritty, {Very} hard~hitting, doesn't let up, and some of the best fight scenes you will EVER see. The Asian's stomp a mudhole and stomp, stamp, slash, stab and shoot the sumbitch dry!
Only one small criticism is that they shouldn't have cut the camera away on a couple'a shots in the movie. Was most likely done for effect, given the amount of visceral violence that IS in the movie, but like to see it ALL, personally. Well worth the price of admission. ;o) \nn/
