About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an old-school revenge martial arts movie packed with training sequences, a truly nasty opponent, and big crowd-pleasing fights, in the vein of Bloodsport; Not for you if you need subtle writing or surprises.
Pros: intense martial arts action; memorable villain; fun training moments | Cons: weak acting; predictable story beats; romance feels forced
