An American martial arts master / idiot gives his wallet to muggers, then beats them up anyway, neglecting to get his wallet back, leaving his address with them. Then he doesn't think they're a big deal, not bothering to call the cops, and doesn't take care when leaving his pregnant wife home alone. When she's murdered, he starts with the muggers and advances through a increasing sequence of murderous revenge to hunt down those responsible.
Introducing the film, the director noted that "this movie is not original and not unique. It's a ninja movie." Indeed, the action scenes are excellent; there are no wires and no CGI, just raw emotion; as the director says, "All logic goes away." Unfortunately it also reflects on the stupidity of the lead character, something I just can't shake.
