Cung Le’s new movie Dragon Eyes comes out in theatres and VOD on May 11th

Cung Le, a Vietnamese American martial arts champion, who stars as yet another ex-con who can’t avoid trouble in Dragon Eyes, directed by John Hyams. For reasons that flashbacks gradually reveal, Le’s character infiltrates a drug ring run by a crooked cop, a role played with nasty precision by Peter Weller. The film features a number of impressive old-school beat-downs, but the sadness within Le’s character makes the movie oddly depressing. Still, who can resist the sight of Jean-Claude Van Damme, playing Le’s mentor and uttering such wisdom as: “If you get shot, it’s only because you didn’t understand the man who shot you. Don’t think about the gun. Think about the man.” Words to live by.
