I watched this as I am aware some martial arts films do not get a good rating if badly subbed or dubbed, I like this genre of film, it was borderline so I thought what the hell....For the most part it was a bland, reasonably acted film put together with little thought. At points there was genuine tension so I was close to rating it a 6. The rather bizarre and poorly stylised sex(ish)scenes knocked it down to a 5 but still a bearable effort until the "heavy" storyline about a hubby looking for revenge peaked.I have watched old boy and can cope with some damn weird sh*t but this took the biscuit, I became aware that one of the main protagonists had a DVD of the baddie raping and torturing a girl, what I did not realise at first was that it was the other protagonists wife (he was out for revenge.) OK if a bit misogynistic so far but when we got to join her husband on the couch as he watched her poorly dramatised rape and mutilation I gave up.I appreciate a little "protect the chicks" is standard fare in a lot of action flicks but this moved a bit too close to a sick and unpleasant voyeurism, sadly I had watched most of this film before this drab yet disturbing (and not in a good way) scene arrived and I lost any will to watch it further.If after reading this you find you have few/no friends and are looking to improve the quality of sad messed up deviant you already are this film is waiting for you.
