Somebody poured some significant cash into this rancid vomit of a movie. Some of the battle scenes required some investment that low budget production would not be able to afford, however, even though I am fan of improving Chinese production this flick looks like most idiotic movie propaganda ever. Chinese hero my ass. I could not bear it more than halfway into this and I just could not take it any longer. If you love yourself at least a little bit, please, avoid at all cost.
It's really really bad. Turn off the TV in the middle of the movie bad. They got my attention with Tyson vs Seagal match, but they're in such a minor roles. Tyson looked like CGI and Seagal looked like a human wearing mask of Steven Seagal. They had a fight in first half an hour (maybe again later but i could not watch).I loved the idea of boxer vs aikido, but the execution was awful. Don't spend your money on it.
Every actor in this movie was at the same level or worse than Mike Tyson... even SegalFew credible preformances. Story is lame and predictable,
Well, the Chinese movie investment did it again, they overlooked a very bad screenplay, casting lot of deadbeat no-talent at all low level actors to play the bad people, watching these non-actors poor performances, I suddenly found Steven Segal and Mike Tyson were actually a pair of pretty good actors in this laughable film. Both of the two leading Chinese actors were also lousy actors with awkward and pretentious performances, the male actor also had a funny Korean style hairdo, that was covered up his forehead with hairs combed down below his eyebrows, this sissy hairstyle is the typical disgusting hairstyle widely used by those sissy looking Korean young actors or singers and blindly copycatted by the Chinese young entertainers. I just felt very uncomfortable to watch a Chinese high tech guy would have a funny Korean hairstyle.Anyway, this is a very shallow movie, blindly invested by those Chinese deep pockets. They thought making the African locality and background setting was a cool and exotic choice that would sell to the Chinese moviegoers easily. But with such a poor screenplay and poor cast, all I could concentrate is the African scenes, the streets, the African people, the desert, the camels, the palm trees and the SUVs....
