The movie is about a kid called 'Street' who is threaten by a 'Mr. Big character into fighting for him for free or have his family hurt ... and there is no reason given for him to not go to police through bad writing.
The idea is there, but it's not been though about enough (though the script was re-written by a 3rd writer so maybe she messed it up, who knows?) The biggest problem with this movie is the sound. The music comes in loud and hard when it's not needed and drowns out the actors' dialogue and at other times, when music is playing in the background of the room and it makes sense for it to be loud... you can barely hear it. The sound designer needs to give back their paycheck.
There wasn't any real build up to the finale and some characters were under-written, but if you're a fan of martial arts movies, you'll probably get past it all for a single viewing.
The actors do a good enough job but some acting looks bad at times due to camera placement.
