Review:

Back in the 90's when Chow Yun-Fat was attempting his attempts into American films & they were all essentially the same thing. This movie is what it is. Gun fighting, fist fighting, average acting, generic plot, sometimes absurd. Has a lot of actors in it that I do like, Michael Rooker, Jurgen Prochnow, Til Schweiger, Danny Trejo, Clifton Collins Jr. but they just weren't simply important enough to the story or the movie to make it better than it was. Just plain average. It's a good thing Antonie Fuqua made some way better movies after he made this one.
