Rating: 4.0
I'm sorry for you!
Two police officers are teamed together and it seems that they couldn't be more opposites of each other. One is an American, Chris Kenner (Dolph Lundgren), raised in Japan and the other is a Japanese American, Johnny Murata (Brandon Lee), raised in the USA. The only thing they have in common is that they are both martial arts experts and they are cops. They work the area of town called Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.Chris breaks up an illegal martial arts fight and tries to arrest the organizer and finds himself trapped in the middle of a machine gun fight between the organizer and the Iron Claw Yakuza clan. The Yakuza is trying to take over Little Tokyo and all that stands in their way is this duo of death defying cops....This is a high action movie between the police and the Japanese mob. This is the movie debut of Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, and his fighting skills are famous. This is a story of vengeance and it features some top notch fighting scenes. If you like that style of movie then you will like this one for sure.The main focus is the introduction of drug distribution by the Yakuza to the area.As a warning, this movie contains violence, foul language, bloodshed and nudity.I liked this as an action movie and if you like martial arts films this this one is pretty good. By the way the, "I'm sorry for you", is what all of Chris Kenner's old partners tell Johnny Murata when he shows up at the police station and they all learn that he is Kenner's new partner!
