(2014) Falcon Rising ACTION

The name "Falcon" as the movie is referring to is the character played by Michael Jai White, as he plays John Chapman that was the nickname he was given when he was a marine. The set up is roughly about 27 minutes, and while back at home, he attempted suicide as a result of PTSD he suffered while he was serving. Until one day his sister, Cindy Chapman (Laila Ali) comes to visit him coming from Brazil. And it is not long before his sister, Cindy as a social worker goes back, that she was discovered left for dead unconscious. And of course, he receives a call from his former marine friend, Manny (Neal McDonough) who works at the US consulate in Brazil, informing him about it. And upon his stay at Brazil, during his investigation, he clashes with a Yakuza child smuggling ring lead by ruthless gangster, and sword whirling, Hirmato (Masashi Odate)

There's like one fight scene in like the first half hour upon the Falcon entering into a small convenience store, before he fights some more upon his trip to Brazil. And there isn't anything impressive until the last 15 minutes or so, that consists of fights and gun fights looked it was inspired from a John Wick movie, except that this movie has less action than most high budgeted action movies.
