    This was a solid watch with a few gripes.

    The good: interesting idea, charming acting from Jack Quaid and Amber Midthunder, really fun fights scenes and a few badass hero moments (Kickboxer anyone?) make for an over all fun time.

Now, when you love a movie with all your heart, and you go through your entire life defending and championing a movie that movie thar people consider bad to unwatchable, it gets really easy to forgive these kind of films. The weird movies. The oddball nightmare production movies where the studio is freaking out because they let some director spend millions of dollars fuckin around. But somehow, for me at least,…
