2013 · Movie · PG-13 · 110 min · ★ 6.9 · 81% critics
In a demon-plagued world, a young monk trains as an unusual demon hunter, trying to calm monsters with compassion instead of violence. As he faces increasingly dangerous creatures and clashes with a tougher, more direct hunter who keeps crossing his path, his journey becomes a test of courage, faith, and self-control.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast-moving fantasy adventure mixing mythology, slapstick humor, and bursts of darker monster mayhem, in a vibe that can echo Kung Fu Hustle; Not for you if you dislike subtitles or tonal whiplash.
Pros: lively action set pieces; big creature battles; quirky humor | Cons: uneven comedy tone; dated-looking CGI; romance feels forced
