About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, gang-focused martial-arts story with lots of fights and a strong sense of time and place, like The Grandmaster; Not for you if you need tight plotting and deep characters.
Pros: frequent martial-arts brawls; strong period atmosphere; gritty gangland stakes | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven pacing; thin character depth
