A mysterious man befriends a young girl with troubled family. When she gets taken by a criminal gang he finds himself pulled into a world he thought he left behind.

A real mixed bag, I genuinely got emotional at parts but then I had to laugh at others. It's as if the movie wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a tear jerker or a comedy.

Some of the scenes are really contrived and the mood feels forced but others carry a gravity of greater sincerity, this disparity means I have to lower the score ultimately.

Great choreographed fight scenes with some wooden writing and characters. So cliched you might want to reach for the sick bucket, then you get sucked back into the action by a genuine moment. Really not sure what to make of it other than to say if you enjoy action it's worth watching. If you're looking for a timeless story think twice.

7/10
