Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An order of fighters must face an alien visitor whose periodic arrival threatens Earth. Nicolas Cage supplies a suitably eccentric mentor while the film struggles to connect its martial-arts showcase with a coherent mythology. A specific action-night pick for viewers who enjoy ambitious premises on uncertain foundations.
