Like Bruce Willis without the one-liners, but possessing a much larger can of 'whupass', The Stathe tears the New York underworld a new one in this rollicking, no nonsense thriller. Catherine Chan is excellent as Mei, and there is a believable relationship between the two, although the set up in the film's initial scenes feels rushed. Once things get down to business there is no compromise, nor punches pulled, only young Mei could come anywhere near being described as good, but Statham's 'Luke Wright' at least has an honourable cause at the heart of his killing spree. The plot moves quickly enough that you will be too busy counting the holes in the bad guys to see the ones in the story, but if you are able to hang on in for the ride, this is flashy flick with something worth fighting for at its heart.
