By Kelly Warner Now this is more like it. I was a bit disappointed with the first New Battles film, and if writer Koji Takada’s account of things is correct, so was director Kinji Fukasaku.

Black Scar Blues (2015) Review
Director: Leroy Nguyen Cast: Leroy Nguyen, Edmond Shum, Jen Barnard, Donald Williams, Daniel Sim, Mahdi Eltigani Running Time: 80 min. By Jeff Bona Sorry folks, no Kris Wu lookalikes here.
