Part martial arts, part "John Wick," part romance, and part "family" film; this movie tries to be too many things at once and, not surprisingly, fails. Considering this flick contains the seeds of at least four separate movies, the result was a competent one, even if the "family ending" leaves you scratching your head (but with a smile on your face) for what is, in the last analysis, an "action" flick. After an absence of thirteen years, a DEA returns to Taipei, the Republic of China, to confront the drug lord who cost him the love of his life. What he doesn't know is that very same woman is now the pampered wife of said drug lord, and that he has a son he never knew about. Sound interesting? It is. Whether that is enough for you, you have to see the movie to find out.
