action
Mason Storm, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, films the corrupt politician Vernon Trent commissioning a political murder as part of covert surveillance. As a result, he and his wife are attacked by a killer squad in their apartment. His wife is killed in the process. The hospital admitted Storm wakes up after seven years from his coma. The nurse Andy Stewart, who looked after him during this time, helps him to escape from the hospital, because he has regained his memory of what happened back then. Now his life is in danger because the assassins have learned of his recovery. Stewart flees with Storm to a friend's house, where he rebuilds himself physically and undergoes tough training. The two escape the stalking of Trent's gang several times. Storm enters the house of Trent, who has become senator, and eliminates the killers. Because of the incriminating videotape, Trent is arrested.
Reviews
Prisma writes that the film shows "effectively" the martial arts from the Far East. He offers a "questionable vigilante tendency" and "a cynical look behind the glittering facades of power and wealth".
The lexicon of international films describes the film as a “pseudo-critical political thriller” that has been spiced up with “family happiness, sentimentality and a bit of eroticism” and “cannot cover up its cynicism even with Confucian wisdom”.
Cineman writes that the film is something for "lovers of bad taste".
