***possible spoiler*** (...actually watching this film can spoil your evening) well... i try to refrain from doing bad critiques for movies as much as i can... especially when their topics aren't really my thing. but here we have a contender for "worst pseudo-post-modern would-be-trendy-movie-ever-made". basically it's "The Warriors" only... totally not! i mean what is the f*** idea here? the term "in the near future" is used here to transport a totally stupid and unconvincing storyline: a city ruled by martial arts gangs... yeah sure... then we have this one gang of super-model-fighters who are...erm...well...the good guys! now the super-bad-boss-guy wants to unite all the gangs to challenge the ruling party. but wait! (this could shock you...) he only wants to gain superior power over all of them! off course we also have the traitor in the gang here who wants a slice of the pie... the rest of the story? that's it! so let's fill in some very uninspired martial arts sequences and an embarrassing female motorcycle gang (a stylistic highlight here) tint the whole thing in boring blue/sepia and here we go! what is a bad movie?hard to say... but in my view, bad movies can even be fun sometimes.just not this one... the whole idea of "let's do a Scottish martial arts film cuz... no one has made one yet!" just isn't enough to squeeze a movie out of it... in a subtle way... it made me angry...
