A cheery young man moves to the big city from the country in the hopes of earning his riches. Before long, he finds himself in the middle of a turf war between two opposing businesses thanks to his mastery of the martial arts. Things kinda escalate from there.

I’m usually not one for kung-fu numbers of this sort, but, regrettable title aside, this little ditty really does a great job of getting rid of all the things that usually bug me about these movies. No long, drawn-out training sequences leading up to the meat of the movie; no long stretches of forgettable dialogue constantly breaking up all the action; no corny English voice-overs; plus the fight choreography doesn’t come off as dated. This thing is chock-full of awesome kung-fu and, while the story is fine, that’s perfectly okay by me considering how well it does the one thing I tuned in for. Honestly, one of the better action movies I’ve seen on Netflix in some time.
It doesn’t have enough reviews to warrant a proper Tomatometer score, but you’re just gonna have to trust me on this one.

Or how about another ACTION movie, one without all those subtitles getting in the way?
Or maybe another DRAMA, one with some actual reviews going for it?
