Righting Wrongs
Certified Crap. CrapScore 52, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A lawyer responds to a collapsed justice system by taking on criminals himself, bringing a formidable cop onto his trail. Yuen Biao and Cynthia Rothrock make the moral turmoil look physically spectacular. The escalating melodrama is a useful excuse to assemble some extraordinary fights and stunts.
