"Chen and Burr put the emphasis on character—in less than an hour, we feel like we really get to know these monks—but there's still enough high-flying, high-kicking action to keep genre fans happy."

The film follows a handful of Shaolin monks who have brought the style to America, chronicling their adventures in New York City, Houston and Las Vegas.
