don s This showcases a couple of really good fight scenes but offers not much else. It is too long for the story and its intent seems to be to prove nice guys finish last and good girls fall for bad boys. The acting is decent and Ga-in Han is a cutie. The title reflects the type of martial arts Bruce Lee used, but this has very little to do with him. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not you're typical high school story, quite enjoyed it actually and loved all the Bruce Lee stuff. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member An overlooked gem which manages to be impressive without falling into trite sentimentalism and I actually loved the incidents near the ending & the ending itself, Imo they were pretty realistic & that's the main reason I'm giving this such a high rating Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie has its action, romance, and drama. It was funny too. If you are fan of Bruce Lee, you'll like this movie then. He's not really acting in this movie, but the movie was based off as in inspirational of Bruce Lee. Ending was quite sad, but it's better that way anyways because not all couple have happy ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review jesse o This movie, quite frankly, bored the hell out of me. The problem is that the film's central character is about as uninteresting as a main character can get. This might be one of the most uninteresting main characters I've seen since The Forbidden Kingdom. They both sucked the life out of what could've been a good movie. The guy in this movie is incredibly dull for the majority of the film, the movie only really gets interesting during the last 20 minutes or so by which point it is simply too late for the film to be good. I simply can't overstate how boring this guy actually was, to the point where it's a complete detriment to the entire film. I don't see a problem with a character having a sensitive side, but when the entire movie is him looking sad or crying it makes it torture to keep on watching. Not to mention the "romance" that develops between the leads is also very bland. I understand this is supposed to be a coming-of-age film, but I have no idea what the story was supposed to be about. Sure, the main character came out of his shell...so what? How is he more mature because of it? The story sucks a lot. I have no idea why a lot of the stuff was in the movie quite frankly. The pacing of the movie is also pretty horrendous. This is mostly due to the main character being the whiniest character I've seen in a while. He's simply no fun to watch and the movie ends up feeling considerably longer than it actually is. The movie isn't funny, nor is it all that introspective about how hard it must've been for this guy to "survive" high school. Really, as you can see I did not like this movie at all, I'd even go as far as to say it was bad, not just boring. As mentioned, the movie did get more interesting but that is like going from dead to barely breathing. Although I did find the end to be pretty cool, the movie was too far gone to be saved. I'd say avoid this film at all costs, quite frankly. It has very little redeeming qualities.
