criticism
“Eastern is playing in a rocker milieu for a drug ring that is hunted down by a capable inspector and his little brother. Weird attempt to combine a biker movie and a kung fu movie with a disappointing result. "
The camera work and the film editing are badly criticized. There are few tension peaks and only the motorcycle races and the few fight scenes offer some action. However, the display of these is criticized by weak camera settings.
