Troubled quiet kid David Lee (a solid and sympathetic performance by Chris Mark) secretly suffers from memories of a terrifying past. It turns out David has super human powers that several people are interested in using for their own nefarious reasons.
Writer/director James Mark keeps the tight and engrossing story zipping along at a brisk pace, stages the plentiful exciting fights with considerable rip-roaring go-for-broke gusto, maintains a tough gritty tone throughout, and doesn't skimp on the bloody violence. The sturdy acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Jessica Clement as the sweet May, Daniel Park as protective guardian Andre Chan, Melee Hutton as the serenely wicked Dr. Jenkins, Jason Gosbee as the shady Rick Collins, and director Mark as the sinister Yin. A cool little flick.

Digging up a deadly past
A showcase for the lead's abilities...
KILL ORDER is an indie action flick made on the usual small budget. It feels like a spin on the Bourne franchise albeit with some explicitly science fiction stylised moments. The hero is an ordinary high school student who turns out to be a genetically engineered super soldier; he's then forced to go on the run from members of the organisation that created him in the first place. The effects are bad, the acting average, the story virtually non-existent, but at least this has some enjoyable martial arts fights to see it through: they're lengthy, plentiful and well staged with an eye for spectacle. A shame they don't have a proper film to go with them...
Pointless meandering from fight to fight, with abrupt, meaningless "ending"
What can I say here that is good? Good fight scenes? They are decent, but the complete lack of plot turns the movie into a meaningless string of fight scenes, so much so that even the pretty good fight scenes eventually become totally boring. There is simply no point in them. The voices and sound quality are awful (not the music, the sound). Then, the "ending", if you could call it that. It's not a cliff hanger setting up a sequel. That could easily be forgiven. Nope, it just ends mid sentence.
