St Jude Square, a New Orleans community, is at the mercy of rival gangs, with ordinary members of the community living in fear. This begins to change with the arrival of Ryan Hong (Cung Le), an enigmatic figure with extraordinary fighting ability who uses advice from his mentor, Tiano (Jean-Claude Van Damme), to break up the gang monopoly and restore some sort of order to the streets. But will Hong be able to maintain the peace as the criminal powers of New Orleans join forces for a counterattack? (Paramount Pictures AU)

I was excited to see a new Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, and that’s pretty much the only reason I gave Dragon Eyes a shot. But in the end, Van Damme barely shows up — maybe two or three minutes of screen time tops. The heavy lifting is done by Cung Le, who the movie is actually about. And let’s be real, the so-called “story” is barely a story at all. The two stars I’m giving this are purely for the slick and stylish direction from John Hyams, which kept things somewhat interesting. Other than that, it’s not much to write home about. Also, Van Damme’s son should probably quit while he's ahead because he’s starting to really get on my nerves.
