About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want fast, flashy martial-arts action mixed with hip-hop attitude and occasional laughs, in a loose modern Romeo-and-Juliet setup; Not for you if you need grounded realism or tight plotting like The Siege.
Pros: creative fight scenes; entertaining humor; energetic soundtrack moments | Cons: messy, convoluted plot; heavy wire-work; uneven tone and acting
