Frank Sharp (John Ozuna) had to leave America when he was charged with murder after him bouncing a drunk customer ended up with the man dead. He stays in touch with his sister Angie (Jackie Falcon), as his mother (Paloma Morales) is dying in a hospital. Frank’s trying to pay for it by working as a bouncer in Romania. The trouble is, he can’t avoid helping people, like Silvia (Rosmary Yaneva), who is being abused by sexual trafficker Kane (Costas Mandylor). Of course, his boss Carl (Simon Phillips) tries to warn him, but Frank just can’t help himself.

Watching the bad guy slap around a woman and threaten her with a knife is too much, so Frank beats the man into the ground, as well as his bodyguard before taking Silvia and stealing Kane’s car. If this seems like the worst idea ever, well, there wouldn’t be a movie otherwise.

Directed by Massimiliano Cerchi (The Penthouse) and written by Adrian Milnes, this has a cameo from Gerald Okamura, who is probably the best henchman in the history of action movies.

When this has fights happening, this is pretty solid. It takes too much time in between them, but if you grew up renting the levels below Seagal and Van Damme, venturing into the action films of Lundgren, Dudikoff and Rotchrock, then you’ll find a lot to enjoy here. Ozuna has some good moves and there’s a great fight with a hitwoman played by Tayah Kansik that makes up for any time that the movie drags, even if Frank basically chokes her to death while traffic drives by. Maybe life is cheap in Romania.

There’s also a moment where Kane stops two henchmen by basically squeezing their balls into bloody sacks. You have to appreciate that kind of brutality in a hero, even if he’s too dumb to realize that none of his friends are on his side. Or he was, until — as you’d expect — the bad guys kill him.

If this had a box that you were looking at it in a video store, it would let you know that Ozuna was a 2008 Guinness™ World Record Holder for Fastest Martial Arts Punch at 43.3 mph and Most Martial Arts Punches in a Minute of 713. That means that he can throw ten punches a second. More than ten. I can’t even figure that out.

Also: I can’t figure out why the climactic fight starts with stock footage of the sun coming up, but maybe they didn’t have coverage. I also can’t explain why Frank turns his head when someone has a gun on him. Then again, most of Frank’s martial arts concentrate on scrotum decimation, so there’s that, as he wins another fight handily.

This is a decent microbudget brawler. If you like discovering these movies as much as me, you’ll have a fine time.
