Change #1 - eentime. <newline> <newline>The cinematography and direction is pretty good, and when you consider the sheer act of will on Yune’s part to pull this off, it would be a sin not to watch this film. It obviously helps that the film is a pretty solid piece of action fluff, so it’s not a chore to watch this and it deserves a wider audience. Go on, you know want to.

In truth it’s mainly Johnson who does the talking but interesting nonetheless. <newline> <newline>Good set of extras regardless of the fact there are effectively only two interviews as both weigh in at the 20 minute mark and both are full of non-EPK information. I struggle to remember when I actually heard better interview that give a real sense of what it is like to make films. <newline> <newline>[heading][b]Overall[/b] [/heading] <newline> <newline>There are numerous influences in this film, from Star Wars, Rambo and Leon (as mentioned previously) through to the rather naff Romeo Must Die. The story is not an original by any means and the script is rather clichéd and contains some rather ham fisted dialogue in many places, which is unsurprising considering Yune wrote and rewrote this by himself by all accounts. That said, I really enjoyed this film. You can get past the dialogue on some films as the action speaks for itself. The stunts, whilst again, not the most original are pulled off quite impressively and in yet another string to his bow, Yune did virtually all his own stunts (the story behind the opening sequence is quite funny and very impressive at the same time). <newline> <newline>As well as some decent stunts, Yune developed a fighting style for the film called 52 block that is apparently based on a real fighting style used in prisons and has dance technique built into it. I can’t say I really noticed this myself as one martial arts sequence looks like another to my untrained eye, but it looks rather impressive regardless. <newline> <newline>The cast is pretty solid, although the acting is as good as it’s going to get for the genre. Not Oscar worthy, but solid enough for the material presented. The exception is Keith David, an actor who exudes cool and really does a lead role of his own. He owns the screen whenever he appears and Yune clearly recognised that by adding in sometime extraneous scenes just to increase David’s screentime. <newline> <newline>The cinematography and direction is pretty good, and when you consider the sheer act of will on Yune’s part to pull this off, it would be a sin not to watch this film.
