About
If you want a light, sometimes brutal martial-arts comedy with underdog energy, this could click; Not for you if you hate chatty stretches, familiar revenge plots, or prefer the bigger, slicker style of Hobbs & Shaw.
Pros: funny martial-arts vibe; likable grounded characters; some hard-hitting fights | Cons: familiar revenge setup; lots of talky scenes; action can feel brief
