This is a gloriously chaotic, over-the-top 90s action spectacle. It feels like a fever dream of martial arts, questionable CGI, and relentless, if sometimes clunky, fighting. Expect a frenetic pace, a campy tone, and a distinct video game aesthetic that's best enjoyed with a healthy dose of nostalgia or a group of friends ready for some wild fun.
