This is a standard action movie that doesn't have much nonsense in the plot and goes directly to the theme. From the beginning, the special forces members rushed into the abandoned building in full armor and competed with the gang's firearms, to the tragic close-quarters combat with few men and horses left, and then to the two brothers who joined forces to violently kill the big BOSS, all in one go without a drop of urine. Perform the perfect three-part. Before we had time to watch it in detail, they had already finished the game neatly, like a CS battle game with masterful tricks. Although the three moves and two styles in it look like flower fists and embroidered legs, one cannot help but be impressed by the explosive energy of this Welsh-born young Indonesian director, who built a super weapon with a shabby $1 million, resulting in the film winning the prize as soon as it was released.

Especially in the last part, the two brothers join forces to fight against the "little black and thin" who can fight, which makes people get back the feeling of Jackie Chan and Jet Li's Hong Kong-style action movies, with endless tossing, various bloody wrestling moves. In any case, this action film from Indonesia was later invited by Sony Classics to Linkin Park to tailor the original soundtrack, which raised the quality level of the film to a unique level. In the era when authentic Chinese kung fu films were inexorable, we had no choice but to use a half-bloody, half-sparring action movie to stimulate our hungry nerves. If you are still unsatisfied by rummaging through the boxes in European and American action movies, then this movie is definitely worth recommending.
