- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and action fans, this one's for you. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. A good follow-up to John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum or The Matrix.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
