Leonetti is a great cinematographer, but as director, well...

Pic consists largely of choppily edited fight scenes (usually involving somersaults and back flips) combined with various computer graphic effects.

A little more work is required, for instance, on four-arm technology.

As far as the plot, the repetitive bombardment of similar scenarios makes the film seem very long and painfully drawn out.

It's just an excuse for a series of tedious, repetitious fight scenes that have been staged with no hint whatsoever of originality.
