"John "Falcon" Chapman (White), is an ex-Marine anti-hero plagued with a terrible secret consuming him with guilt. On the self-destructive edge, he learns his sister Cindy (Ali) has been brutally beaten in the slums, or “favelas”, of Brazil and travels there to hunt down her attackers. In the process he discovers an underground world of drugs, prostitution, and police corruption ruled by the Japanese mafia and protected by the powerful Hirimoto (Odate)."
Could have been quite good but it fails due to poor direction and character development. The script was weak as were most of the scenes. I thought the beginning of the film was decent but with better direction and script it could have been even better. The action scenes were good as they normally are with Michael Jai White especially the final one. I wish though they had more powerful as I feel like Blood and Bone was better. The plot is predictable, the supporting casts acting was very weak. I wish the Japanese element was played better as we really only see 2 Japanese people in the film despite the villain is a yakuza. I did like the cultures present in the films but even that could have been better. I suggest this film to action fans
1.9/5
