Engrossing. Martial arts genre but seems to highlight rhythmic or artistic gymnasts strutting their stuff all over town - Bangkok. Six guys with the noble aim of opening a gymnasium for the less fortunate children get caught in between a royale battle between the triad and the yakuza. Add to that mix a brother/sister team who are outcasts because they are mixed parentage.
The fight sequences seems so fluid that it looks like a well rehearsed ballet but some of them were a bit too long. The philosophical and love angle is given just a cursory glance. Very little blood spilt so those who want their daily dose of gore and mayhem would be disappointed.
