I am not Mr. Kung Fu connoisseur, but I do enjoy a good one from time to time. This was certainly a good time, despite a few flaws. Overall, the fights were very entertaining. These were kind of realistic by kung fu standards (not by, you know, realism standards) and they were shot in a great way by showing us the whole thing.

The story was... interesting. Yes, it is based on a real person's life, but I think they took a few liberties on how to portray that reality. The opening is certainly upbeat. Then, suddenly, we go into depression mode. Both are good in my book, but a little weird being right next to each other. The acting is a bit rough except for Donnie Yen. He was really good, and I understand how he got cast for Rogue One.

Then there is the end. So I get it, they want to make it a big finale. But come on, you can't have something serious happen followed by "Don't worry, it all went ok." text on the screen. However, I did enjoy the way they handled the final fight.

If you're into kung fu, or looking for some different action, I'd recommend it. Then, if you like this one, there are 2 sequels and a prequel to watch as well.
