I read the critics and I must say, without doubt not legit at all. Jealousy? or?
I watched the movie without knowing how it would be and didn't expect it to be so good.
But the idea was nicely done, the filming was great and some fights very very top! I refer for exemple to the big fight scene near the temple between the Captain and Alex: to me one of the best fight scenes. The contrast between both, and an absolute action packed fight. Honestly better then most of the Hollywood martial arts fights seen.
Maybe some parts were too long but overall an action movie to be discovered.
You will find some hidden action scenes/ fights you will be surprised of.

I've ticked the Spoiler box just in case although I don't really think it does. But in any event, it left me confused as hell so spoil that!Hmmm... The accusations of fake positive reviews themselves sound fake although the film is full of problems.Really poor dialogue is the most noticeable. The writer is also the 'star' AND the producer (who's Mummy & Daddy have lots of money, then?) and, yes, the actors could be better and the action scenes are generally hum drum and unimaginative although the performers are very athletic. Yes, the direction is iffy and the script could do with some serious tightening. And, er, well, the sequence of events - ie. what's happening is definitely confusing.The continuous flashbacks is annoying in the extreme. If I see another movie which starts with a denouement and flashes back X minutes/days/weeks/months I'll not only scream and walk out/switch off, I'll be straight back here and posting a 1 review! If the story's not capable of being told in a linear fashion and needs to show an 'exciting moment' in order to keep the audience in their seats, it needs another writer or another audience. Probably both! But I digress... This doesn't quite do that.Essentially, the 'hero' keeps reliving the last 30 minutes, but does he remember the previous 30 minutes or is each one new? That's never really clear.The most totally unexlained thing - and common to many movies - is that the antagonists seem to want the protagonist alive but shoot at him when they're chasing him. How does that work? Come on, writer/director, get your act together!A favourite line - "Why don't I remember anythink!" Oops, whose accent is slipping? Oh dear...It's a nice idea - or at least an interesting one - mangled by dire dialogue, poor story flow and iffy direction and editing.So why watch it? Well, I'm a glutton for anything to do with time travel. This actually isn't (at least I don't think it is) but, alas, with this movie my gluttony got what it deserved!

Terrific little movie.An original and interesting concept for a small budget Gung-Fu movie. I enjoyed watching it. Selina Lo is gorgeous. It is a pity there is not more of her fighting. Ideally on the beach.There were tremendous fights and they should have been longer. The plot was a bit confusing, and I am not certain I fully understood it in all the details, however I thoroughly enjoyed the way it played out.Everyone involved gives a heart-felt performance, giving this film a great shot of competing with more well funded competition. I look forward to the sequel!

This is a clever little indie action movie with an original take on the "memory" concept. Mid-way between a martial arts flick and a sci-fi movie, it has definite appeals to both audiences, with a few slick fight sequences and enough of a brain teaser to keep you thinking for 85 minutes.The director and stars all do a good job of keeping the plot moving and getting to the next story part without slowing the pace down.It does look cheap at times, and the dubbing isn't great, but the music score is epic and makes it feel like a much higher budget production.If you don't mind lower budget movies, then this is definitely a good one to watch.
