Skip it. This is a by-the-numbers action flick that checks every predictable box—kidnapped daughter, double-crossed criminals, revenge subplot—without bringing anything fresh to the table. Unless you're in the mood for pure B-movie spectacle with zero pretense, you've seen this exact story done better a dozen times over.

Plot

Gang leader Tony pulls off a major diamond heist with his crew, but cop-turned-criminal Ling knows who has the loot and responds by kidnapping Tony's daughter and holding her for ransom. Unfortunately, Tony's lost the diamonds as well. As he frantically searches for his daughter and the jewels, Tony pairs with a high-kicking government agent who once worked with Ling and seeks revenge on him.
