I appreciate the thoughts behind this film. It makes points, if you can find them, that need to be seen and said and realized and remembered.
Following the story takes strong dedication as the numerous flashbacks injure the story and misdirect the message.
Diana Lee Inosanto and Michael O'Laskey II are good but not exactly convincing and they should be. Their fighting is more convincing than their acting.
Sab Shimono and Emily Kuroda delivered realistic performances but they were mostly in the background.
McClain's female friend needs acting lessons.
I admire the take on hate, ignorance, and discrimination.
This is definitely the opposite of a Hollywood movie, but that shouldn't kill it. Regardless of the flaws, it's worth watching two or three times to see what's happening. The ideas were worth making into a movie.
