Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The first or second turkey bad film of the year (maybe the third?) but its certainly the first I can say for sure is awful.Its a film about some guys (several award winning wushu artists) who try to get their slave conditions in the tin mine better but the mine owner decides to kill everyone. The heroes escape but plan revenge.Bad. Just bad.Laughably awful music.The action is badly filmed with lots of distracting CGI.Its awful.I mean the dialog is among the worst I've seen and don't get me started on the narration which is howling awful avoid at all costs

I apologize in advance for the subpar quality of my writing in this particular review, but I needed the better part of three bottles of wine just to get through this mess. If I had known ahead of time what was in store, I would have shelved the wine and gone straight for the whiskey. Anyway, this film takes four great fighters with multiple championships under their belts (some of them world-level), and yet instead focusing on their skills and making an entertaining martial arts film, 75% of the film is dedicated to giving you an aneurysm.-There is no focal point to the story (and I use the word "story" very loosely"), and the characters have no personality except for their sentence-long introduction during the opening credits. -There are these random jumps in time with no indication or explanation, so every time you're left confused for a few moments as you figure out if this is a flashback or a sudden fast-forward or something else. I guess they are trying to be edgy or whatever here, but all it does is destroy what little pacing the story has. -Most of the movie just doesn't make any sense. If you're a mine owner on the cusp of expansion, and your long-time partner/human resources guy voices a concern that many of the workers are exhausted and not as productive, why would you respond by slaughtering the whole lot of them (while losing about a dozen guards in the process as well) and burning down your own building that you used to house them? Why does the main goon rip his shirt off and stands in front of the burning wreckage for a solid minute, screaming and flexing his biceps? -The most annoying thing for me personally was the blood splatter effect. And I do mean splatter, as the slightest wound would send a veritable geyser onto the screen. I'm not sure if they were trying to emulate the style of Sin City (the black and white combat scenes with accented blood is a possibility) or 300 (the whole hyper-violence and blood geysers thing), but it falls lightyears short. The effect basically looks like some of the earlier Doom video games. That, or they just drew it directly onto the print with a red sharpie. I blame this abortion on the fact that pretty much the entire art design/direction team (including the director himself) share the same surname. It is clear to me that this family of monsters akin to those hill-dwelling mutants, except watching this film is a far more brutal experience than even mutant-hillbilly rape. In summation, I would rather get kicked in the nuts by the entire U.S. soccer team rather than watch a minute of this film again. The Hor family needs to be stopped. I would prefer a public execution (hey, maybe we could use their weird method of hanging you from bamboo with a blood drain in your neck), but I'll accept neutering so they cannot propagate their cursed bloodline.Now where's that bottle?

Four guys (Blaze, Tiger, Ace and Dragon) work at a tin mining operation. When they decide to see the boss about their bad working conditions, the boss plans for the entire crew to be offed cuz paying slave wages isn't as bad as having people talking bad about you. Naturally, our four heroes barely survive and then plot their revenge. Bandied about as Malaysia's first martial arts film, it might also be their last thanks to some unwise choices by director C.L. Hor. The four leads are pretty good fighters but the director does them an incredible disservice by doing stupid camera/editing tricks every two seconds in the fights. Worst of all, he inserts this cartoon blood (yeah, cartoon) that explodes anytime someone gets hit. Dumbest editorial decision I've seen since Uwe Boll editing in clips from the game in HOUSE OF THE DEAD.

Can't blame the poor reception of this film. I spent RM8 on this DVD title and I think it was my poorest judgment of spending that RM8.First of all, the story line. It's so awfully mixed up, yeah of course, there was a plot: Men get killed, Men revenge, Kill each other, Good guys win. Despite of the poor CG blood, come on, repetitive scenes! Repeatedly shown to remind the viewers that the same incident has happened. What kind of directors are dumb enough to 'pis' off the viewers by doing dumb tricks again,again and again. Wake up, the viewers are not as dumb as you, OK?!Acting was even worst, can't blame 'em, none of them are professional actors, they can't even speak proper dialogs. There are huge load of 'sheet' from this movie that disgust me, sound, visual, dialogs, acting, story line, casting etc.I don't even want to think back how I could sat there and endured the suffering by letting this piece of 'sheet' movie play on my TV! This movie is a disgrace to all Malaysian. Please do all Malaysian a favor, don't advertised this movie as "Made in Malaysia"!
