An unexpected treat! All the scenes were very deliberately choreographed. This was clearly made by people who actually love action movies. Sure the story isn't the departed, there are certain tropes, etc. But this is basically a kung fu flick - it's kinda about the action, y'all. I thought the whole thing even outside of the action was deftly handled, the story competently told, etc. But the action! Very exciting and creative combat bonanzas, one after the other. Relentless, exact direction that I really appreciated. Clear sense of place, or situational clarity, that so many other filmmakers fail to manage. Lots of fun, pure action, and pretty classy otherwise to boot.
