The trailer looked good and gave me high expectations. Man, was I misled. There is no excuse experienced writer and director R. L. Scott giving us this amateur hour 5th grade drama class level "Black Panther wannabe in the Hood" mess. The concept of the story was actually interesting, but every aspect of the execution was a fail. I was begging for the 105 min runtime to end, as it felt endless. Absolutely horrible directing and acting - with the exception of cutie Aeriel Miranda, who was the only convincing actor, and easy on the eyes as well. The fight choreography was 1980's, and whoever played the other hooded blue eyed tuff guy was cringeworthy, especially his attempt at pre-fight katas. The sound was bad and the score dreadful. This did have hope to be good, but Scott ruined any chance of that. Time for Film Class 101. It's a generous 3/10 from me.

The film takes place in the fictional Paradise city, possibly near Sin City. Ray Lazarus dies and resurrects in the first scene. He is chosen to go after the bad guys by the fates. However, the fates demand balance which means? It means we don't have any closure.

This is an action hero film with some of the worst dialogue and acting. Ray goes after Synth drug distribution centers. There is a subplot with the sister of a bad guy dying which tied in rather badly. I will watch part 2.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

How can an action film be so boring?! This film failed in a biblical proportion & the namesake offered a chance of something decent but failed to deliver. I did find it hilarious that the ultimate crime lord/kingpin looks like Pitbull (cue a cut away Family Guy scene & therefore could not be taken seriously) & All the antagonists are so generic.
