About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward action thriller with lots of brawls, chases, and undercover tension, similar in spirit to Ip Man 3; Not for you if you need a tight, clearly told story and consistent tone.
Pros: brutal fight scenes; energetic car chases; occasional humor | Cons: messy, confusing plot; uneven pacing; awkward dialogue moments
