About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic martial-arts-meets-spy adventure with a sleazy ’70s underworld feel and standout tournament fights; Not for you if you need tight plotting or nonstop pace like Speed.
Pros: iconic martial arts action; tense spy-thriller vibe; memorable set pieces | Cons: simple story setup; uneven pacing at times; some cheesy acting
