About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, action-heavy martial arts story with clear big-picture themes and lots of fight time; Not for you if you need a deeply original plot or seriously compelling character depth, or if you disliked similar martial arts crowd-pleasers like Birth of the Dragon or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.

Pros: great martial arts; entertaining action; moral themes | Cons: familiar plot feel; thin character depth; uneven villain performance
