When I heard that the geniuses behind "The Matrix" and "V for Vendetta" were producing a film, I was ecstatic. I had to go see it immediately. I expected some awesome one-liners, well thought-out plot elements, and a political and/or philosophical commentary. I was disappointed on all fronts. The movie had nothing interesting, and was basically just a stereotypical martial arts tale, but with lots and lots of graphic violence. People are dismembered, stabbed, mutilated, blown up, decapitated, shot, whipped, and beaten bloody non-stop, with all of the violence highlighted by gallons of spraying blood. The violence is so constant and gory that there's no way it could be imitated or taken seriously, but it's just so extreme that sometimes it's downright comical. I actually began to laugh in the opening scene of the movie, right after the top half of a guy's head lands in the center of the camera. The violence is your only worry here, though. The opening scene contains some strong language, but the rest of the film is largely clean. There is no drug use or sex at all. The main characters are clearly good and the antagonists are clearly bad (although at times the characters seem one-dimensional). This movie is fine for older teens with a stomach for violence, but you still don't want a younger teen watching this level of gore. Some people will enjoy this, although I haven't the slightest clue who they are. I can see what the movie was aiming for, but they took a good concept and ruined it with bad dialogue and needless violence.

Absolutly kickarse! Intense action scense, awsome weapons, and just what you would expect in a chinese martial arts action movie. Sort of funny since the film was shot in Berlin, Germany.

one of my favorites crazy action killing movie i loved it there is alot of sword fighting gallons of blood parents dont let kisd see this 16 and over for intense violence

extreme violence bloody action and 13 f-words including other bad cusing except for that theres no sex or any other thing except language and violence. in the first part men get cut up one by one by a "invisible ninja" its hard to say but it does have a good story but to much language and violence to give a good review.
