“Seeing Falcon Rising because brought back memories of the action-packed movies I used to watch growing up – including Bruce Lee movies. This was a super hero type of film where all the men were handsome and chiseled, so all of the women in the audience hated to see the bad boys killed. After seeing Micahel Jai in mostly Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey Network productions,I was impressed to see his martial arts skills and thought Laila Ali did a great job in her film debut.” Sonya Jenkins
