This is like a bad joke version of a mediocre video game. They decided to screenwrite the video game as a punk scifi combo even though that's nowhere in the video games. Robert Patrick's role was very bad in this. The story is weak, and the pacing of the film is uneven. There are so many unnecessary characters that are totally disposable. Nowhere in the video game is there the talisman cliche' common to movies. This should have been just a straight beat em up like the game. A generic martial arts film. But it tries to do too much at once. Some of the settings get pretty ludicrous with the punk imagery, such as the green water in the one gang's hideout, which takes things too far.
