Shot with a furious speed akin to the films coming out of Hong Kong at the time, Rothrock's fights are genuinely jaw dropping.

Audience Reviews for China O'Brien

Apr 01, 2007

This is my first-time Cythnia Rothrock movie I hired from a video. She plays a former cop using her amazing kung fu on the drug-dealing perpetrators. And cool team-up with martial artist stars Richard Norton and Keith Cooke.
