I'd like to see this film, probably will wait for blu-ray.
Jeff Imada = Very Cool! He's done over 100 movies and dozens of TV series I recently found out.

 I remember Jeff Imada had a very small onscreen scene as a waiter in one of the Cheech and Chong movies, I think Nice Dreams where theyre eating at a Chinese restaurant and, Cheech has trouble opening a bottle of wine or Champagne and Imada breaks the seal by whipping out a Filipino balisong knife from his pocket using an impressive knife opening manuever and putting it away when he finished in the same fashion.

The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

 Hey gang,

 I finally got to see the film last night though it's been out for atleast a week. Another post Apocalyptic thriller in a  a MadMax vein with some religious undertones about a wandering stranger over a desolate America, 30 years after the last World war who possess the last copy of the bible on Earth with a mission to deliver it somewhere out West and defy those willing to kill to have it for themselves as a means to having power over others. The film has some geat hand to hand, bladework and guncraft. The hero's uncanny fighting ability goes pretty much unexplained until the end of the movie. The bladework is most impressive, I wasnt suprised to see JKD/FMA great Jeff Imada credited as the stunt/fight coordinator.
