action
Right at the beginning of the film, the viewer is shown that the heroine is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and a committed policewoman on top of that. After appearing as a hand-to-hand combat trainer for her colleagues, she feels like Steven Seagal in his 1990 release " Approved for Killing ": A tragic death causes her to quit duty and return to her hometown. But even there she does not find peace, but is confronted with the brutal deeds of an unscrupulous power man.
She then follows the example of the former wrestler Buford Pusser, whose life story was brought to the screen by Phil Karlson as early as 1973 under the title The Great from the Dark ("Walking Tall"). She can be elected sheriff in order to personally create order.
In the end, China ensures that the good citizens win.
effect
