 A Certain Justice aka Puncture Wounds (2014) – James Coyne / Giorgio Sarafini.

Gnarly, high-impact DTV actioner finds depressed PTSD vet. John (Cung Le), recently returned from war in the middle-east to incidentally starting another one with a malign crew of hedonistic skells, dominated by vicious kingpin Mr. Hollis (Dolph Lundgren). This visceral punch-fighter provides a vividly entertaining example of no good deed going unpunished, as jacked Kung Fu powerhouse Le is demonstratively capable of punishing those who have done his family such a grievously unforgivable wrong. While the relentlessly revenging setup is undeniably trope-city, this gritty tale of a one-man wrecking marine is absolutely recommendable to avid martial arts fans. A Certain Justice ups the ballistic ante, resolutely delivering the action goods, bloodily replete with a bruising array of exhilaratingly brutal fight scenes. This heroically dosed adrenaline shot of hypertrophic Lundgren/Le hard-assery, climaxes explosively in a satisfyingly gonzo, bullet-blasted fashion! The professionally executed martial mayhem herein is leavened with appreciable pathos, Cung Le's honourable veteran is a familiar DTV cypher, yet he performs the role vigorously, John's grisly rampage proves cathartic. Lundgren fans who relish the sledgehammer swede in unfiltered nasty mode will get a kick out of Mr. Hollis, who is stone-cold meaner than pint of cobra venom!
