I'm afraid that I need a little more than non-stop gunfights to make a movie worthwhile, but essentially what I found here was just that - it was a non stop gunfight; very violent, very bloody. I'm not the squeamish type. Those things don't bother me. I just need a decent story to go along with them. That was sorely lacking here.
The opening scenes of the movie were simply confusing. When things finally got connected it didn't get that much better. The story revolved around a young Chinese girl (Catherine Chan) - kidnapped in China and forced to the United States because she had a photographic memory and amazing mathematical skills and was of use to the Chinese mafia in New York City. Particularly, they got her to memorize the combination to a safe with $50 million in it. She escapes, and hooks up with Luke (Jason Statham), who becomes her protector.
I never did really understand the scene in which the two of them meet and he feels a connection with her, and I just honestly didn't find this movie to be at all interesting. (1/10)
