overall this was a lot of fun, promising a greater story to follow, with more eclectic settings; With a stellar cast, non-stop fights and stylish direction this proves to be an enjoyable throwback that will please genre fans
less a Nic Cage movie than a movie with an extended cameo by Nic Cage..., this Greek/Cypriot co-production mixes mediocre martial artistry with a sci-fi spin and ends up a puzzlement to both genres
it might be enough for some viewers simply in this for the cheap thrills, but this is not a production reaching for the stars with its watery cocktail of broken bodies and egocentric aliens. And that's a real shame
for as much as that premise may suggest "Predator" by way of "Mortal Kombat", the film doesn't display the mounting tension and proficient choreography that would otherwise make the material sing
"Jiu Jitsu" has all the barely-motivated action and sci-fi trappings of a middling videogame; Nicolas Cage, occasionally keeps scenes from putting the viewer to sleep, but hardly justifies the existence of this monotonous, unimaginative actioner
