..... And boy does the film live up to that quote, time and time again.....
Boy is a mayhem machine who's been training to assassinate the bloodthirsty Hilda Van Der Koy and avenge his family's murder.
Guided by his sister's mischievous spirit, Boy uncovers one stunning revelation after another as he barrels toward Hilda......
To enjoy this film to it's maximum potential, you just have to go with it, maybe have a few drinks before, and in between, because the plot holes are very gaping, and there is a last minute twist, that will make you go 'pah!' If you don't forgive its shortcomings. And again, shortcomings are aplenty. Just imagine the film as one big happy trailer for the forthcoming probably depressing and rubbish Crow remake that the star has coming this year.
Boy is trained by the mad one from 'The Raid', and he beats him up for a long time. Imagine Bloodsport and Kick-boxer, but instead of Van Damme winning at the end, it's a courtroom drama about abuse. And then some.
Boy hates Xenia Onatopp, and he will stop at nothing to avenge his sister. And like this months Monkey Man, he goes about exacting revenge on those who hurt him, albeit with a lot more gore and cheese graters. Monkey man was about culture clash, whereas this is just about clash.
It's a mental film from beginning to end. It's gory but not too much, it's very bonkers, and it's the perfect beer and pizza movie, because come the end, you are that exhilarated, you couldn't care less that Onatopp is really you know who, and the bloke from The Rais really did that.
It's a well made straight to video eighties movie, and that is a compliment of the highest order.....
