It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Everything about this movie screams "film student project". The script is terribly weak: dialogue is unconvincing, and the story meanders so much so that by the end of it I had no idea what was happening. There is no consistency with back stories, and no convincing motivations for people's actions. Why are super secret assassins posing for selfies on the riverside with ninja swords in their hands and sending them to one another? The reason one assassin gives her assassin ex-boyfriend's number to a reporter (John) who is following up on rivalry killings? "I thought you could use someone outside of the gang to talk to." Yes. The best candidate she could think of was a reporter. For him to talk to about their (illegal) assassin problems. Brilliant. But wait, it doesn't end there. When assassin dude doesn't seem overly interested (not that he seems super interested about anything at all in this movie), she really makes her case with:ASSASSIN CHICK: He (John) was suspended from the paper because he almost put someone in a coma.ASSASSIN DUDE: The plot thickens.Quality writing. The fighting scenes are achingly staged, the story makes no sense, and no-one appears to be able to act. Although to be fair, acting convincingly must have been a challenge given the crap material they were given.Looking forward to a review of this one from YourMovieSucksDOTorg.

Who rates these movies so high? They lack in everything. Just another low budget company putting out low budget crap. The action was sub-par, the camera work was shotty and unoriginal. The story overall was less than mediocre and no imagination put into it. I've seen high school student films better. I have a feeling the majority of the ratings this movie has received and many like it creators of the movie putting in their two cents to hike up the rating on their otherwise terrible attempt at a movie. Drama, action...?? Where? The terrible acting is just, yet, another factor that adds to this complete failure of a film. I've seen Uwe Boll movies better than this and he's the worse director in the industry.

This must be the worst comedy ever!Expecting to see great lines and hear large laughter, House of Cards Directed, Produced, Costume Designed, Written and Starring Ian Chinsee is not getting my vote in any of the comic/comedy genre this year.I was most disappointing with the 14 people (obviously all Ian Chinsee) who voted this 10/10. Anybody voting anything less than 3 have at least one brain cell.Paying for this is going to cost you money. Watching this is going to cost you time. Thinking this is funny... Not so much! In a nutshell, I would not let my worst enemy watch this dribble!

I have rarely seen such a poor excuse for an action film. Admittedly, this is a poor excuse for a film, full stop, but it is egregious to me that this is a vendetta/fight flick.It takes a truly uninspired set of actors, director and crew to make Uwe Boll look decent in comparison. Alleged MENSA member Chinsee does this, and then some. His dialog is lackluster; the thing is, many action flicks share this problem. Nor is the pacing the only culprit. Many films suffer from poor pacing.This waste of celluloid looks like a rehearsal takes of a bad movie. Especially the combat scenes. Poorly edited, execrably shot, with novice actors who can barely deliver their lines, let alone wield weapons.I am amazed anyone paid money to this genius to make this. But I shouldn't be. This direct to DVD stuff has gotten more prevalent since the recession hit in late 2007.Save yourself some time. If you want see a vendetta movie, get the Chun Li flick with Kristin Kreuk. She actually can fight, and act. Or just watch season 1 (or season 2) of Maggie Q's Nikita.The auteur's bio says he went to medical school. Chinsee is hopefully better at medicine than he is at filmmaking. Or his patients are in serious trouble.
