ThiefHott Too much of everything
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
SebastiaanH97 Funny how lots of reviews have high scores and they say the fight scenes were great. Honestly, the fight scenes were so incredibly mediocre and slow I didn't see anything great about it. If you compare this to movies like The Raid, Ong Bak, Ip Man etc. You would be thinking the same as I do and I bet you those people didn't see the movies listed above and lots of other good fight movies.Speaking of the Raid, what a disgrace they didn't show more of Iko Uwais. Such a waste to let one of the best martial artist of today, almost do nothing in a fighting movie. Anyway, I give this movie a 6/10.
Mario Dati (ThePiousPatriot) WOW! Where to begin. Could the story have been a little better? Sure it could've. This is a martial arts film. With that being said, it was pretty awesome. Being a fan of martial arts films, of course I enjoyed this, but not just because it's a martial arts film. It's because compared to other films of this nature, this one has some pretty amazing fight scenes that, in my opinion, rival those of "Bloodsport". This is why I felt it was necessary to give this film an eight star rating. Keanu is a bonus, like icing on a cake. On the other hand, if you're not a fan of martial arts movies, this is definitely not for you. As stated above, the story is slightly lacking compared to great movies of other genres. However, if you compare this film to other martial arts films, the story is better than average. That's why I believe that if you're a fan of martial arts films, DO NOT PASS THIS ONE UP. It was refreshing to see fight scenes of this quality again. Enjoy
DeadlyBaazigar Nice movie to waste time, but the acting was pretty bad overall, especially by Reeves. I do think hes a good actor but definitely not in this movie. For his directional debut, the movie was well directed by Reeves but he should either focus solely on acting in the movie or directing it, not both. The story line is also very predictable, I didn't see any of the trailers before I watched it and found myself guessing 90% of the story as the movie progressed. Also if you are looking to get your kung-fu fix, this movie isn't a horrible choice but definitely much, much better movies out there. Tl;Dr: Decent movie, bad acting, good martial arts, much better choices to invest your time in.
gojiseb Man, I first caught wind of this flick last year when I saw it while scrolling through Netlfix. Being a Keanu fan (and not ashamed to admit that), I thought I'd give it a shot. Needless to say, I enjoyed the hell out of it! I thought it was a fun, stylish character driven fight flick that we simply don't get to see much of anymore. Keanu plays Donaka Mark, a psychotic sadist who runs an illegal fight ring. He finds himself frustrated by the lack of "interesting" fighters and recruits Tiger (played by Tiger Hu Chen), a young and naive master of tai chi. What follows is an almost Faustian tale of Tiger's rise, fall and struggle to regain his former honour.Maybe I make it sound a bit too grandiose, but it really is a damn good fight film. It has a solid cast, decent cinematography, well choreographed fight sequences and a strong enough script to carry all its action. P.S. Fans of 'The Raid' might be interested to know that Iko Uwais has a cameo towards the end.
