Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and anyone after some adrenaline. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. If you loved Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, start here.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

This is a powerful, yet fictionalized life story of Huo Yuan Chia, a real kung fu master in Southern China who brought respect to the populace and allowed kung fu to be taught to all Chinese during a time of revolt and low morale in the country's history.
