My Thoughts Movie Ratings

This movie reminds me of a combination of Kickboxer and Battle Creek Brawl.  But not as good as either.  All I can say in Jet's defence for making this film is - "He was young, he needed the money"  I hope that was it, because even he really couldn't see this film being a hit - In the east or the west!
