Criminal Gavin Matthews finds himself an unwilling recruit, who's identity and past has been erased by "The Corporation," a secret underground organization that acts as a rogue "Justice Department," righting the wrongs the courts cannot. Now, held with other "recruits" at The Corporation's training and reeducation facility, Matthews and the others will become useful and professional assassins...or they will be eliminated. As his training is completed, Matthews and his trainer discover The Corporation's true purpose and learn they are to be eliminated when their assignment is complete.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I knew when I picked up the box that it would be a pretty bad movie. Still, I wanted to see Shannon Lee and the movie having Michael Dorn in it looked like it could be a sleeper. It wasn't...Shannon Lee and Michael Dorn did a good job with what they were given. The rest of the movie was pretty bad. I won't repeat what has already been said by others. They put it pretty well.I can see why the actors made the movie. It's easy for me to imagine reading the script and thinking that it had the potential to be better than it turned out to be. Too bad...If you like Shannon Lee, you may not be too disappointed with this movie. I'm glad that I picked it up, but wouldn't watch it again.

All I can say about this film is that it appeared to have been filmed in someone's loft or an abandoned building. It also looks as if the budget mainly went to Shannon Lee and Michael Dorn and left nothing for the actual production itself. Avoid this film like the plague.~DC~

This is the first movie where I have actually felt the urge to ask formy rental money back, and those of you who know me as former IMDB posterEl Buncho know that I am no stranger to bad movies. This film was simplythat bad.First of all, I rented this because Shannon Lee (Bruce's little girl,who is now a serious hottie) is top billed and featured on the box.Sure, she hasn't made any good films yet, but hope springs eternal. Shehas talent, but she needs a script! And she really has very little to dowith the film. This is unfortunately a starring vehicle for RobertVitelli (who???), a charisma-free void of a non-actor whose martialskills are marginal at best. Films that purport to be martial arts filmsshould at least be able to deliver on the butt-kicking, but this willmake the viewer want to do a bit of butt-kicking on their own (directedat most of the people involved in this mess).The plot is a convoluted ripoff of "La Femme Nikita" with Vitelli in theNikita role, and the incredibly uninvolving story just lurches alonguntil it reaches a ludicrous twist ending. And we also are treated toappearances by two Star Trek actors: Michael "Worf" Dorn and the guy whoplays Dr. Phlox on "Enterprise."And the final kick in the mouth is that this DVD bears the blasphemoustag-line "Bruce Lee's legacy lives on." I'm not even related to the guy,and I was offended for the entire Lee family! Avoid this at all costs;there is simply no entertainment to be found

I had a coupon for a free movie rental and the movie looked like it might be interesting. I wish I could get my free rental coupon back. I would rather have watched "Battlefield Earth" again.
