Besides the above-average action sequences in this film, the film has nothing. It doesn't have good dialogue. It doesn't have an original or compelling plot. There's no romantic angle involved (unless you want the "vengeful husband angle," an old movie tactic that isn't even done well here). It doesn't even have a good one-liner you can share with your buddies afterwards. Nothing.

The plot? Nah. I'll let someone else waste their time trying to explain it. I've heard one plausible excuse for why this movie is bad : That it tries to emulate the Hong Kong / Asian action films, the type that have made Jackie Chan an international movie star.

It's plausible, but not likely. This movie is bad because it's bad. And that, in itself, is too bad - A half-decent plot would have made the good action scenes in this film great.
