This popped up on one of our cable movie channels.
I liked it but it was a little slow. There really weren't a lot of fight scenes, but because I like pro-Union working-man stories I stuck with it. I normally don't mind CG elements but the blood was 1989-era sloppy. Overall it was just a standard poor-guy beats rich-guy movie.
What I found interesting was the intense hate on IMDB: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1356802/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1356802/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1</a><!-- m -->
I've seen some bad martial arts flicks and this was not one of them. Maybe I liked seeing the Wushu forms being used in practical application, maybe I liked the emotional connections made between characters, maybe I liked the costumes and sets.
In any case, this was not a P.O.S. 3.6 movie on IMDB. I give it a solid 7.5. I smell internet smearing for one reason or another.
