I will agree that this movie kind of jumps and goes a bit too fast and does not develop any kind of character base - besides for the main character John. Which leaves the audience not really caring whenever some of the supporting characters bite the dust, due to you have no real intro to them or their purpose in the movie other than they just get served.
It almost reminds me of the old school 80's flicks like 1990 bronx warriors, or prayer of the rollerboys. Which both had good ideas but really didn't live up to the hype that one would have wanted.
Now i'm not saying that this movie sucked, I actually quite enjoyed it probably because I'm a martial arts nut and commerical artist so I tend to get more into back story's and overall meaning of the movie more then the actual story of the flick.
I would recommend that if you are the type of person that likes to read into movies more than what they try to show then give it a shot (just don't expect to follow the movie right off the bat). Otherwise you might be better off renting to old school movie The Warriors which follows the same type of plot, Of one gang trying to get back home from a meeting with rival gangs whom try to kick their butt while they try to get back home.
