The Hollywood Reporter

Teddy Chen's combination police procedural and kick-ass action film provides a sturdy vehicle for longtime Hong Kong star Donnie Yen, who at age 51 proves he's still in good enough shape to deliver all the right moves.

This is martial-arts moviemaking for purists, the emphasis on speed-fuelled combat between fighters for whom honour trumps all.

Minha opinião: Donnie Yen é o nome da atualidade em #Hollywood com grandes papeis em #blockbusters Um filme de muita ação, do ínicio ao fim. Ótimas cenas de lutas. O filme fala de um desafiante a moda antiga, onde lutadores iam de templos em templos enfrentando os melhores lutadores. Ao estilo de #Oyama porém nos dias de hoje isso mudou, com mestres tendo de ter uma vida normal para pagar as contas. Wang tem sua mulher uma das incentivadoras mas morreu de câncer. E para cumprir seu objetivo, ele começa as lutas, mas com um porém, ele acaba matando seus adversários. E para parar ele somente um homem Donnie. Assim é o enredo, mas bem montado e construído, que com o avanço do filme mas se montando toda estória. Junto com isso a policial Charlie e sua amada Bing vão ajudando Donnie a desvendar e parar o lutador assassino. Para quem gosta de filmes de luta, Super Recomendo. Roteiro: Bom roteiro Vale apena assistir? Com certeza Nota: 8,75

This is based off of the old idea in Chinese history to go around to different disciplines and styles/dojos and proving yourself to be the best, but in modern times. It's a classic premise with a new modern spin and era. Why it's rated so low, I don't know but this film will satisfy anyone who loves martial arts movies. I'm glad China is still trying to keep this genre alive, and this is one of the film's that is doing it. Based on the reviews here, I didn't expect much but I enjoyed this movie so I suggest you watch it if you're into this genre.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
