- Who'll love it
- Great for martial arts fans and anyone after some adrenaline. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. If you loved Kill Bill: Vol. 2 or Escape from New York, start here.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 26 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
