An FBI agent whose partner and family were killed by a notorious assassin sets out for revenge as the elusive triggerman sparks a sprawling gang war between the triads and the yakuza in the feature debut from prolific music video director Phillip Atwell. FBI sgent Jack Crawford (Jason Statham) is a man driven by vengeance. After his partner, Tom Lone (Terry Chen), and his family fell to bullets fired by infamous hitman Rogue (Jet Li), Crawford makes it his life mission to ferret out the slippery killer. Complications arise when it begins to appear as if Rogue has a mission of his own to carry out, and as triad boss Chang (John Lone) prepares for all-out war against yakuza boss Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi), Crawford and Rogue also come face to face as the secrets of the past emerge in a hail of gunfire. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

While reality television has been dominating the airwaves in recent years, most of the popular shows in the format have been devoted to topics that were trivial at best (Survivor and The Amazing Race) and offensive at worst (Date My Mom and Straight, Gay or Taken?), and Bob Gliner decided to do something about it. Gliner is a documentary filmmaker who also teaches sociology at San Jose State University, and in 2005 he posted notices on campus inviting students to a casting call for a new kind of reality series. However, Gliner's concept was out of the ordinary -- rather than putting his participants on an island, sending them out on a cross-country race or forcing them to live in a house together, he divided twelve students into four groups, and gave them each an assignment to devise a project that would help people in need in the San Jose community, such as low-cost housing, health care for low income families, or credit counseling for consumers in debt. Making It Right is a documentary about Gliner's proposed television series and the student who signed on for the challenge and used their competitive spirit to help make the world a better place for others. Making It Right received its world premiere at the 2007 Cinequest San Jose Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
