The other reviews gave this a POOR Rating. These people obviously never saw the movie, "The Warriors". This was an updated version of The Warriors with a lot of cook kung-foo action. I thought it was good and, even my wife liked it (that in itself is amazing for this type of movie). It started out a little slow but the martial arts was worth seeing. The ending was a little disappointing but, then again, what she he have done?

Don't waste your time. Even if you like good fight scenes (which this movie doesn't even have), getting to them by fast forwarding through the bad acting and bad plot is so painful it's not worth the effort!

Don’t pause the movie if the phone rings; you won’t miss a thing. It looks like someone attempted to make a video game into a movie. Filmed all in the dark, the mistake was not turning out all the lights.
