Review Also known as

Scott's life is plagued by two kinds of flashbacks. First are the childhood memories of the rigorous training he and a friend endured under a martial arts master. The second is of a mission Scott went on that ended with him watching his friend get murdered. Scott later becomes drawn closer to a vicious crime ring known as The Octagon. As he gets closer to the truth, Scott learns that these may be the men that murdered his friend so long ago. - IMDb

Богатая дама Джастин насмерть напугана: ей угрожает банда головорезов. Единственное, что может ее спасти — это телохранитель, самый лучший. И она находит его. Но Скотта Джеймса, бывшего чемпиона по каратэ, не так-то легко уговорить. Даже за большие деньги. Он соглашается, лишь узнав, что руководит бандитами его заклятый враг Тадаши Ямашита, с которым вместе Скотт учился боевым искусствам.
