Fantastic

Contains Spoiler!! I'm a big fan of action movies and this has to be one of my all time favorites. After having his dog shot, his best friend killed and his daughter kidnapped, you can tell Chuck is gonna dish out some punishment. Some might say that the fight scene at the end was a bit short; not me. If there's one word to describe that scene, its REALISTIC. Real bare knuckle fights don't go on for 10-20min. I love the stand-off between David Carradine and Chuck Norris, and the theme music is very powerful (it seems to resemble the "Once Upon a Time in the West" theme). The best bit of the movie is the final fight scene and when Chuck's girlfriend gets shot. That scene is only about 5minutes in total, but mate, It was well done. The super-charged Dodge is a MUST-SEE!
