This movie has to be the most bizarre movie that I have ever seen! The action never stops and there are certain situations that are just absolutely hilarious given the circumstances. I went into this movie thinking it was your average run of the mill crime drama. It is much more than that. This movie is going to be a cult classic very soon!

This movie was terrible. It was all tits and guns with no sensible plot. Every other scene was just an excuse to show more tits. I was like, 'What the fuck am I watching?' The science didn't make sense to say the least, and the drug that threatens the life of the main character was asininely presented in the first place. It was a bunch of people saying, 'It's the Chinese shit, mannn!' They didn't even refer to its name but once. It was always just 'the Chinese shit'. And furthermore, it had racially offensive lines, and speaking generously, it had a C- plot. Like I said before, the entire movie was just tits and guns, with people's hands occasionally getting cut off followed by subsequent cheap-looking blood effects. If they were going to make it a gory movie, they could've at least done a good job of it, but the blood was painty, viscous and unrealistic. This was by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.

And in response to whoever said that this would be a cult classic, that's a load of bullshit. A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, Snatch, etc. are cult classics. They have developed plots and well-thought out situations with just the right balance of blood and boobs. Those are great movies. They don't have poorly authored plots with a bit of crude humor every now and then. I'm guessing that most of the people who gave this movie good reviews did so because they work for whatever company is producing them. That's Internet grassroots, my friends.

I do admit that this movie was very funny, but it was not so in the way that it was intended to be. The storyline was so asinine and repetitive that it drew out some laughs.
