This film is an amazing achievement in both storytelling and fight choreography. The director's simple, economical camera setups mirror the brutal efficiency of the karate on display here. A wonderful breath of fresh air in the martial arts genre.

This is an incredible film which will astonish you with its ability to deftly navigate between poetic dialog, physical comedy, and aesthetic artistry. We're still not quite sure how they pulled it off, but they did.
One of those wonderful rare instances where all the hype on the DVD cover ("a profoundly moving tale of the human spirit") is not only true, but is an understatement.
Despite its laid back documentary style, the filmmakers actually went to incredible pains to set up each and every shot, with months of rehearsal and dozens of takes per scene. A remarkable film with a sense of effortless beauty. Recommended for fans of "Fresh".
