We follow a pair of young brothers as they arrive at an elite small town martial arts school with their father who is a teacher there. Together with their best friends, the five children discover a secret hideaway and form their own gang swearing allegiance to each other and to be the best. As they reach their graduation year, with the provincial team selection looming, their friendship is tested and they are forced to face the perils of the world outside their school. The actors are all wushu graduates and accomplished martial artists. Executive produced by Jackie Chan and co-starring Sammo Hung!

This movie was formulaic and predictable, but it included everything that I wanted to see. There was a little character development, an antagonist (thank goodness), and several story themes and that I really like. Most importantly, there was fighting, not non-stop-fighting-just-to-fight fighting, but fighting that highlighted the characters' relationships amongst themselves.
