This is a Taiwanese-made movie that is set in India, as the plot concentrates on a murderous cult targeting a young couple, who witnessed a Hindu priest being shot by a crossbow. Before succumbing to his wounds, he hands the couple a sacred statue to be taken back to India.

From what I remember, the plot is obscure in the movie and what you see is just a bunch of mostly non-main stream actors attempting to dodge the homicidal cult members. There is one gun battle after the other as the character run around in circles in this huge fortress full of idols.

This movie is really nothing to write home about - a weak storyline with an unnecessary large body-count and overly-aggressive characters (both good and bad). Sibelle Hu, known for her Madam Wu character in the Five Lucky Star and Inspector Wears Skirts series, plays one of the main antagonists in the movie, which I thought was out of place for her.

This movie has plenty of gun-totting action, but with limited suspense and intrigue. 

Grade D--

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment.
