In a dystopian world, Boy witnesses his entire family slaughtered before him by an evil crime syndicate, while he is rendered deaf and mute. He is rescued by Shaman, who trains him in martial arts his entire life, as Boy prepares to exact vengeance on his attackers. A pretty straightforward premise for an ultraviolent action flick, but where this film really shines is in its dark humor and the decision for Boy's inner voice to be portrayed as a booming video game announcer (from his childhood arcade memories). The whole thing is full of style and verve, and reminded me a bit of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World by way of The Raid.

It's fun anytime that dude's voice pops up in anything. I hear he reprised the role in Super Dragon Punch Force 3, a spin-off from this movie.
