在纽约布鲁克林区街头开设香烟店的哈维凯托，和经常到店里买烟的失意作家威廉.赫特是全片的中心人物，透过他俩的交谈各自的遭遇，理出了四个男人与一个女人之间复杂的人生故事…… 在东方女性版的《喜福会》造成轰动后，导演王颖转过头来拍摄一部西方男性版，同样是以几个家庭的多线发展探讨人伦亲请的可贵，但味道各有不同。这部电影能把生活中看似平凡无奇的一些细微变化作出高明的解释，不少片段有感人肺腑的剧力，证明王颖已经跨越华裔导演的民族局限性，且西方题材的掌握也能挥洒自如。。St. Jude Square is a neighborhood living in fear and despair. The dueling gangs of local kingpins Dash and Antuan terrorize the streets and the citizens live without a shred of hope... until mysterious stranger Ryan Hong (Cung Le) arrives in town. He begins to play one gang against the other using his unparalleled martial arts skills, and by calling on the teachings of his brilliant mentor Tiano (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to find the strength to battle back. However, just as he begins to bring the community under control, Hong is confronted by Mr. V, the town's ruthless and corrupt police chief. At first Mr. V is impressed by Hong's skill, but soon sees Hong as a threat to his regime, and the two warriors are locked in a head-to-head battle, pitting the fear and corruption of Mr. V's regime versus the new beginning Hong represents for the people of St. Jude Square.。
