star rating represent the work just miss the mark that little bit in between lag behind the pit in the 80 and few could forget echo and the bunnymen famous anthem spare u the cutter and which spring to mind with chuck new film . with his most recent film bell of innocence ( quite enjoyable actually ) and he use no martial art at all and i note how maybe now because of his age and he be phase this out of his act and concentrate more on expand his range . well and he back at it alive and kick ( unwitting pun ) here and duking it out with small time fellow fight star daniel bernhardt and but that the cutter would still be less fun than boi even in spite of this should speak volume . here chuck return a sam shepherd and a former detective who quit the force after a mission go tragically wrong and who now work a a private investigator . when a woman grand father go miss and she come to him for help and he have no reason not to oblige . but then it emerge the old fella be abduct by a nazi war criminal and his young cohort ( bernhardt ) and his life rest on him use his expert diamond cut skill on an artifact steal from the desert . dig deeper into the man whereabouts and sam and the woman find themselves the target of mysterious assailant here to and everywhere a they close in on the culprit . he keep himself in really good shape but all the same you can not help but shake the feeling chuck be an action star who time have pass by and even with the help of frenetic camera editing and flashy shot . it an excite prospect watch two martial art expert like him and bernhardt duke it out but their fight scene feel ridiculously phony and with some ridiculous loud punching sound use that give them a really hammy feel . unfortunately and it not even a if the story can make thing any more exciting and a deadly dull affair that drag by with the minimum of suspense or excitement and predictable a punch to boot . he in remarkably good shape for his age and it nice to see him make a comeback and but if this be the best he can manage and maybe chuck just can not cut it any more . .
