Yay! Gun katas!

Well it was a low budget film. The gun kata premise is supposed to allow you to anticipate what your opponents will be doing in a combat situation. The idea doesn't really work because in order to apply any statistics to a gun fight you would require such superhuman senses that the statistics are redundant. However no one complains when heros have seemingly infinite ammo cheats enabled and it looks pretty cool.

And I'm not sure how the premise of the film is dumb. It follows neatly in the path of many iconic sci-fi books such as 1984 and A Brave New World.

Acting was a bit stiff but then I guess that was the point

The premise of this film is pretty dumb and it suffered from what looked like a low budget. Still some of the fight scenes are cool but if alot of people are shooting at you I don't see how "gun kata" is going to help.

i didn't mind the movie for only two parts one, was when he was saving that dog and killed those guys that where circling him.
The second was that end scene, with the gun fighting, reminded me of that anime which i forgot the name where these chicks also did that gun-kata thing, where the chicks reloaded there gun by getting endless amounts of ammo out of there cleavage, lol
