Cynthia Rothrock was a big name back in the '80s as being one of the few leading white women martial arts actresses. (So few, I can't name another off the top of my head.) While I haven't seen those, I have seen her movie from 2024.
This movie is not subtle. There's a father-son gang where the father is trying to live his life, and the son is fucking things one. One such way is getting Agent Moore's family involved. Problem is, she, and her daughter, are both martial arts masters, and so there is a lot of hand to hand combat as they deal with the gang to get the daughter's daughter back.
This is very 80's throwback. This isn't a complicated set up, this is just an excuse for fight scenes, but it works because it isn't trying to be more than that. Cynthia can kick all the ass, and Caitlin Dechelle is no slouch either. The bad guys are mostly bad, led by Jeff Fahey, and the son, played by Jose Manuel, is not exactly filling a rich role, but does fine. David W Rice gets a nice bit to do, and is the most likeable of the lot.
This is not going to win awards, but it is a fun time!
